It is noticed that the existing fourth-generation EPYC product code-named Genoa uses a 5nm process, supports PCIe 5.0 and CXL expansion technology, and supports DDR5.

The latest Bergamo processor focuses more on “commercial-level cloud computing”, so while inheriting the above parameters, it is equipped with 82 billion transistors, and can support up to 128 Zen 4c cores, is compatible with x86 ISA instructions, and can Relatively meet the application requirements of deep cloud computing.

AMD President and CEO Lisa Su said that this Bergamo processor, which focuses on “cloud computing”, can provide AMD’s largest vCPU computing density at present, and can provide “the best energy efficiency”, “compared to AMD’s previous EPYC processors, Bergamo processors can increase energy efficiency by up to 2.7 times and provide three times the number of containers.”

Lisa Su also said that AMD is focusing on promoting product deployment in the commercial market, mainly including providing EPYC processors at the server level. AMD Instinct and AMD ALVEO are provided for AI computing, AMD ALVEO and AMD VERSAL are provided for FPGA and Adaptive SoC, and AMD ALVEO and Pensando are provided for SmartNIC and DPU. The current Bergamo processor is “AMD’s latest answer to the server market.”

AMD confirmed in its recent Q4 2022 earnings call that it plans to launch four new data center products in 2023, including Genoa-X, Bergamo, Siena and Instinct MI300.

It is reported that AMD EPYC Bergamo CPU will be launched in the first half of 2023, followed by Instinct MI300 APU in the second half of 2023.

The main difference is that Genoa is optimized for higher frequency workloads, while Bergamo is optimized for higher throughput workloads.

The AMD Instinct MI300 is a multi-chip and multi-IP Instinct gas pedal that will power the 2+ Exaflops El Capitan supercomputer with not only a CDNA 3 GPU core, but also a next-generation Zen 4 CPU core.

The latest specs for the AMD Instinct MI300 show that this APU is a “monster of a small-chip design” that will include multiple 5nm-based 3D small-chip packages with a total of 146 billion transistors, a total of 24 datacenter-oriented Zen 4 CPU cores and 128 GB of HBM3 memory with an 8192-bit bus bit width in addition to the CDNA 3 architecture GPU.
