These days the rumor mill has been quite busy with multiple leaks every 12 hours or so. This past week was full of info about the upcoming 10th Gen Intel processors, both 10nm as well as 14nm. Today, it’s AMD’s turn and a major one at that. Twitter user, momomo_us has shared the SiSoft benchmark of a Zen 2 based Epyc “Rome” processor, packing 32 cores and 64 threads, running at a base clock of 1.7GHz and a boost of 2.4GHz. It’s a qualification sample with the codename, ZS1711E3VIVG5_24/17_N.
In the multi-media test, the AMD Rome processor scores a mammoth 1545.59Mpix/s, coming in at rank #357, making it faster than 99.79% of all the results. It has an L3 cache of 128MB (8 x 16MB) and an L2 (32 x 512KB) cache of 16MB, the former being common to all the cores in the

From the chip code, we can tell that it’ll come in an LGA4049 package and the G5 near the end confirms that it’s a Rome part. We don’t know anything about the TDP but considering that it’s a server processor (the S at the beginning of the codename, ZS1711E3VIVG5_24/17_N) with 32 cores, it’s going to be higher than your average chip.
This appears to be a mid-range Rome offering, as we already know that the flagship will be a 64C/128T monster and has already been booked by a number of corporations. As for the vendor, this 32 core Epyc CPU was run on a Dell machine, namely the Dell PowerEdge R6515 PowerEdge (Dell 04F3CJ). This model currently isn’t available and should be announced in the third quarter of 2019, along with the Rome processors. Stay tuned for more leaks, I’ve got a feeling we’ll be seeing a bunch of them very soon.
