AMD takes to Rome to announce an addition to the 2nd generation Epyc range-- the Epyc 7H12, a 64-core/128-thread processor running at 2.6GHz base frequency (with 3.3GHz max boost frequency) enhanced for use with liquid cooling.
Aimed at HPC customers, the processor achieves 280W TDP and promises "leadership supercomputing performance." According to testing by French partner Atos using the BullSequana XH2000 supercomputer, the Epyc 7H12 achieves a LINPACK score of 4.2 TeraFLOPS, an 11% improvement over the Epyc 7742. For the curious, the BullSequana XH2000 features uses 32 compute direct liquid cooled blades per rack.
