AMD launched a new version of the EPYC 7003 series Xiaolong processor at the end of last year, code-named Milan-X, which is still a 7nm Zen3 architecture, up to 64 cores, but with a 3D V-Cache cache, the total capacity is as high as 804MB, and the performance is as high as 66%, and now the series of processors will be available in March.
Dan McNamara, AMD's senior vice president and general manager of the server business unit, confirmed the matter in an interview, saying that the CPU code-named Milan-X is making samples available to customers and is expected to launch the product by the end of this month.
Considering that there were previous revelations that the consumer-grade Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor was also listed before the end of this month, this means that AMD's 3D V-Cache Enhanced Zen3 processor can finally be fully launched.
AMD's Milan-X processor includes four models, the 64-core Xiaolong 7773X, the 32-core Xiaolong 7573X, the 24-core Xiaolong 7473X, and the 16-core Xiaolong 7373X, and the L3 cache has been uniformly increased from the original maximum of 256MB to 768MB.
If you count the 4MB L1 cache and 32MB L2 cache, a 64-core Dragon has a terrifying 804MB cache, and the two-way is almost 1.6GB!
As for the performance improvement, AMD said that more cache can greatly reduce the pressure on system memory bandwidth, and the performance of the EDA RTL verification workload on the same 16-core Milan-X, Milan, synopsys VCS has increased performance by up to 66%.
The Xiaolong 7003X series has won new solutions from Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, HPE, Ultramicro, Cisco and many other customers.
