U slučaju kad i mogu parirati AMD-u po broju jezgri, opet ih muči sama arhitektura i činjenica da su minimalno jednu generaciju iza AMD-a u svemu. Još su k tome odgodili Sapphire Rapids za 2022.

We see that the AMD EPYC 7543P tends to be ahead of the Intel Xeon Gold 6314U by 25-33%. Overall, Intel can claim a lower price by almost 5%. AMD can, however, claim that it has 20-33% better performance as well as additional PCIe Gen4 connectivity. Intel has its newer instructions and Optane PMem 200 support. Still, for the majority of buyers, it seems fairly clear that at list price, AMD has a better value proposition here. Overall, Intel made a lot of headway in this generation.

AMD je pripremil Zen 2 Rome za Intelov Ice Lake, a obzirom da su ovi zakasnili, Ice Lake se na kraju mora nositi sa Zen 3 Milan modelima.

Sapphire Rapids 56C/112T opet sa zakašnjenjem dolazi na nož kod Zen 4 Genoa primjeraka u kombinacijama od 96C/192T i 128C/256T.

AMD EPYC Genoa will be competing with Intel’s Sapphire Rapids 4th Generation Xeon server CPU, which boasts 56 cores and 8-Channel DDR5-4800. Those mere 56 cores require four 15-core Golden Cove dies at 372mm˛ each, fabbed on 10nm++ and glued together with Intel’s EMIB (Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge) technology, and has 112 MB of L3 cache. While these specs line up fairly well with AMD’s current Milan 7003-series EPYC CPUs, those CPUs have already launched, whereas Sapphire Rapids isn’t due until 2022, where it will be met head-on with Genoa, which will likely be cheaper to manufacture and clock higher at better TDPs; a veritable hat trick in the semiconductor industry for sure.
