Preliminary info for AMD's upcoming 7nm Zen 2 based, 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper 'Castle Peak' high-end desktop and EPYC Rome server processors has been added in the latest version of AIDA64. The new processors are expected to debut in the second half of 2019, offering more cores and better performance than their predecessors.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 'Castle Peak' HEDT and EPYC Rome Server CPUs Get Preliminary Information Added To AIDA64

The latest version of AIDA64 (V5.99.4983 Beta) is now available for download here. The latest AIDA 64 version adds various updates and fixes along with preliminary info for upcoming CPUs such as Intel's recently announced Xeon Platinum 9200 series and more importantly, AMD's Castle Peak and Rome series processors. Following are the full release notes for the latest version before we go into detail for the Castle Peak and Rome series processors.

The Physical CPU information refers to the design structure of the upcoming AMD processors. It represents the die layout and how the CPUs are structured compared to the older ones. We know that AMD's Castle Peak series or Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processors would be similar to the EPYC Rome lineup, featuring a coherent Chiplet design across the various SKUs. We saw the same with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1st and 2nd gen which were physically similar to the EPYC Naples parts.

Now one thing would be interesting to see if the lower end parts may end up having fewer Zen 2 Chiplets on board the interposer or the full 8 Chiplet configurations but disabled on the lower core parts. Currently, AMD has only shown 8+1 (8 Zen 2 Chiplets + 1 14nm I/O die) SKUs and same was true for the Naples parts which had four dies (each with two CCX) across all configs. It remains to be seen if there will be more configs across Ryzen Threadripper and EPYC Rome processors this time around or not.
