So at a 225w TDP I'd guess that part is going to be clocked in the 1.2 -1.5GHz range. Definitely a specialist part IMO because with only 8 channels of memory that's 1 channel per eight cores which is not a ton of bandwidth. So for workloads that largely stay in the (I assume) ample L3/L2 caches that part will rock. But for anything that needs a lot of bandwidth spread across cores (databases come to mind) it will probably struggle where the higher clocking 24 core or 32 core parts will probably chug on fine. This oddly seems like a case where the 48 core may still be a better buy even for similar workloads due to higher base clocks.

Just my two cents.




It seems like the 64 core part will be able to run at 2.35 GHz, see https://www.anandtech.com/show/13598/amd-64-core-rome-deploy...


Good to know I was assuming they'd run a bit hotter. That will actually make the memory situation worse though in many regards.
