Bergamo beaten: The new Turin processor is twice as fast
AMD has presented new performance data shortly before the release of its 5th generation of EPYC processors, known as “Turin”. These chips are based on the Zen 5 architecture and show a significant increase in performance compared to the previous generation, which is based on the Zen 4C architecture. The available data compares the EPYC 9755, the flagship of the Turin series with 128 cores, with the EPYC 9754, the flagship of the Bergamo series, which also has 128 cores, reported HXL (@9550pro) via X.
The EPYC 9755 processor is based on 128 Zen 5 cores and 256 threads. It has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and can accelerate up to 4.10 GHz. In comparison, the EPYC 9754 offers the same number of cores, but is based on the older Zen 4C architecture. The differences in architecture lead to a significant difference in performance in the benchmarks performed.
One major difference lies in the cache design. The EPYC 9755 has a total of 650 MB of cache, divided into 512 MB L3, 128 MB L2 and 10 MB L1. In contrast, the EPYC 9754 offers a total of 496 MB of cache, consisting of 384 MB L3, 96 MB L2 and 6 MB L1. These additional cache resources in the EPYC 9755 contribute to improved performance.
