AMD Zen 4 architecture EPYC processor X-ray photo: Two CCDs with a total of 16 cores
Previously, physical photos of AMD’s new-generation Zen 4 architecture EPYC processor appeared on the Internet. This product using the SP5 socket (LGA 6096) looks very huge. At that time, it was not possible to determine whether it belonged to the engineering sample code-named Genoa or Bergamo, but now it can be determined as Genoa.

According to VideoCardz, an X-ray photo of the processor is currently available. According to the information released by AMD, the Zen4 architecture EPYC 7004 series code-named Genoa can be configured with up to 12 CCDs, each with 8 cores, manufactured by TSMC’s 5nm process. It can be seen from the X-ray that this EPYC processor has two CCDs, that is, 16 cores.

In addition, this EPYC processor has a boost clock of 3.7 GHz and a TDP of 195W, but it is not sure whether it is the final specification.
Through the photo of the back of the processor, it can be seen that the pins are divided into four groups, each group is about 1520 or so, even more than 1331 of the AM4 socket. Compared to the current SP3 socket (LGA 4094), the SP5 socket has 2002 more pins because new technologies such as PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 require more pins to support.
