AMD EPYC Rome CPUs With A Total of 200,000 Cores To Power Atos BullSequana XH2000 Supercompouter
AMD EPYC Rome processors which will be the first to utilize the brand new 7nm process node are tapping in more deals from supercomputing companies even before its launch.
The new supercomputer would house a total of 3125 AMD EPYC Rome processors...This in total would give 200,000 cores and 400,000 threads
AMD has also tapped in a deal with the US Department of Energy for the development of their Perimutter supercomputer which will be housing AMD’s next-gen Zen 3 based Milan CPUs along with NVIDIA’s next-gen Tesla GPUs,
As noted previously, "cores and threads are where its at". Even over 30 years ago, it was cores and threads -- for serious work. I remember back in the 80s at work. We had a supercomputer in a very large room, cost $ millions, and had 64 cores/64 threads running at 0.07GHz (70MHz). Now, an enthusiast can do 1000s of times better at home with a $0.005M ($5000) AMD machine (w/Nvidia GPU -- for another year or so ).
