The latest pictures were obtained by Videocardz and show X-Ray shots of what lies underneath the massive Genoa IHS. Another AMD EPYC Genoa CPU had just leaked out a few weeks earlier and this new one shows proves that the first samples are already being sent out to customers that in HPC & Cloud Computing segments.

As for the CPU itself, the AMD EPYC Genoa chip is based around the SP5 socket which features a total of 6096 LGA contacts, the highest ever on any server chip at the moment. It comes with a total of 16 cores and 32 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture which utilizes the latest TSMC 5nm node. This is particularly an entry-level configuration as it only features two of the twelve CCDs. The full fat configuration will feature 12 Zen 4 CCDs with 8 cores per CCD for a total of 96 cores. As per ExecutableFix, this sample is either the OPN 100-000000627-08 (ES0) orOPN 100-000000627-12 (ES1) variant. Aside from these, the insider has also reported OPNs for the 96 Core and 32 core variants which are 100-000000475-16 and 100-000000479-10, respectively.

The CPU itself consumes 195W power and has a maximum boost clock of up to 3.7 GHz. These are not the final clock speeds as we can expect a 16 core variant with over 4.0 GHz clock speeds in the final lineup. As noted in the leaked EPYC Genoa documents, the 16 core part would also come in 5 chiplet configurations, featuring four partially disabled Zen 4 CCDs with 4 cores each, a 195W TDP, a 116W power for the IOD, and a 3.3W LGA power design. Other than that, the socket itself will be divided into four segments, each with 1520 contact pads.

Starting with the details, AMD has already announced that EPYC Genoa would be compatible with the new SP5 platform which brings a new socket so SP3 compatibility would exist up till EPYC Milan. The EPYC Genoa processors would also feature support for new memory and new capabilities. In the latest details, it is reported that the SP5 platform will also feature a brand new socket that will feature 6096 pins arranged in the LGA (Land Grid Array) format.This will be by far the biggest socket that AMD has ever designed with 2002 more pins than the existing LGA 4094 socket.
