AMD EPYC Rome Way Cheaper Than Intel Cascade Lake Xeon

AMD’s EPYC Rome chips will come with as many as 64 cores while Intel is stuck at a maximum of 56 cores with the Xeon Platinum 9282.

2Compute, the retailer who previously listed the specifications for AMD’s EPYC Rome processors, has listed the core-heavy chips on the company’s E-commerce store. AMD is expected to launch its EPYC Rome army to battle Intel’s Cascade Lake Xeon processors in the enterprise territory before the end of the year. It now seems that AMD not only plans to deliver more cores than Intel but wants to offer them at a considerably lower cost.

64-Core EPYC Rome Versus 56-Core Cascade Lake Xeon Platinum

Model Cores
 Threads Boost Clock Cache TDP Pricing
EPYC 7742
 64 128 3.40 GHz 256MB 225W $7,738.27
EPYC 7702 64 128 3.35 GHz 256MB 200W $7,184.42
EPYC 7702P 64 128 3.35 GHz 256MB 200W $4,932.34
Xeon Platinum 9282 56 112 3.80 GHz 77MB 400W ?

48-Core EPYC Rome Versus 48-Core Cascade Lake Xeon Platinum

Model Cores
 Threads Boost Clock Cache TDP Pricing
EPYC 7642
 48 96 3.40 GHz 256MB 225W $5,319.99
EPYC 7552 48 96 3.35 GHz 192MB 200W $4,486.77
EPYC 7542 48 96 3.40 GHz 192MB 225W $3,793.31
Xeon Platinum 9242 48 96 3.80 GHz 71.5MB 350W ?

According to the listing, the EPYC 7742 costs around $7,700. The EPYC 7702, which comes with a slightly lower boost clock, goes for $7,000 while the single-socket version sells for as low as $5,000. Although we know the Xeon Platinum 9282 exists, we have yet to see the pricing for the processor: The Xeon Platinum 9282 isn’t available on its own, you can only purchase it as a part of the Intel Server System S9200WK.
