new AMD Milan family of Epyc server CPUs is finally available for sale

64 cores, 25% perf boost over Rome

<\x> somebody ask sth to bench randomx

<\x> :p

<\x> no lower end sku this time though

<\x> weird

<\x> tho those are prolly like, to follow...

yeah whatever fails binning

<\x> theres some frequency optimized ones, but yeah, highest clock is on 8c, 4.10ghz turbo

<\x> 2400$ for that, i guess if you really need octa channel ram and tons of pcie

<\x> and yeah 256MB L3 lmao

you could run an entire Linux distro entirely on-chip

<\x> yep

<\x> no cache as ram on amd though but yeah maybe its possible

BIOS code does it though in the initial startup, before DDR4 is initialized

there are special MSRs that configure caching

<\x> nah, no CAR on ryzen afaik, i heard this from coreboot devs

maybe it was bulldozer documentation

that sounds like an odd feature to omit, since it's been standard for years

<\x> idk on epyc

<\x> youtu.be/eyRsk8GU3OE?t=394

<\x> i think this is the talk aboutt that

<\x> though i havent seen a ryzen coreboott bootlog, ive seen an intel one, yeah cache as ram happens, tthen it checks for mrc cache

sweet. that means Rome will drop in price hopefully
