AMD EPYC 9755 Turin “Zen 5” CPU With 128 Cores Is Twice As Fast As EPYC 9754 Bergamo “Zen 4C” CPU With 128 Cores

AMD's 5th Gen Turin CPUs such as the flagship EPYC 9755 with 128 cores offer more than twice the performance uplift over Bergamo.

AMD EPYC Turin Demolishes EPYC Bergamo With Over 2x Performance Uplift Despite Having The Same 128 Core Count, Zen 5 vs Zen 4C Showdown

AMD's 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" launch is right around the corner and while we know all the specs of these next-gen Zen 5 and Zen 5C chips ahead of their official unveiling, we haven't seen that many benchmarks of the SKUs running in action. But that changes now as HXL (@9550pro) has shared a new benchmark of the flagship Zen 5 chip, the EPYC 9755 with 128 cores running up against the EPYC 9754 which features the same core count. You can also check out the CPU-z benchmark of the same chip here.

The AMD EPYC 9755 CPU is part of the "Turin" family which features 128 cores and 256 threads based on the Zen 5 core architecture. The CPU has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and is said to boost up to 4.10 GHz boost clock speeds. This marks a 33% increase in core/thread count & 11% increase in clock speeds. The CPU also features a huge pool of cache, with 512 MB of L3, 128 MB of L2, and 10 MB of L1, totaling 650 MB cache. This is an increase of 31% over the last EPYC flagship based on the Zen 4 architecture, the EPYC 9654 (Genoa).

• EPYC 9755 "Zen 5" - 16 CCDs / 8 Cores Per CCD (128 Total) / 4 MB L3 Per Core (32 MB Per CCD) / 1 MB L2 Per Core (8 MB Per CCD) / 80 KB L1 Per Core (640 KB Per CCD) / 512 MB L3 + 128 MB L2 + 10 MB L1 = 650 MB Cache
• EPYC 9654 "Zen 4" - 12 CCDs/ 8 Cores Per CCD (96 Total) / 4 MB L3 Per Core (32 MB Per CCD) / 1 MB L2 Per Core (8 MB Per CCD) / 64 KB L1 Per Core (512 KB Per CCD) / 384 MB L3 + 96 MB L2 + 6 MB L1 = 496 MB Cache

The benchmarks were conducted in the 7-ZiP application and the CPU can be seen running at a 1T frequency of 4.1 GHz at max which ends up
