AMD is seriously pounding its way into the data-center. If anything, EPYC has proven to be a very cost-effective and high-performance solution in the data-center. But what's next? Well, that would be products tagged under the development codename genoa. 

Well-known twitterer ExecutableFix noticed that AMD Genoa with Zen4 core architecture would feature up to 96 cores, that's processor cores, which means 192 threads paired to 12-channel DDR5 memory. Personally, we're not too sure about the processor core count but speculated is the usage of 12 chiplets dies, each holding 8-cores and add to that the IO chip. Epyc can manage max eight channels; however, it would entail DDR5 at DDR5-4800 MHz for genoa. If you do the math scaled upwards, then this proc would also offer 160 PCIe lanes.

The new socket would be called socket SP5 and would get a tremendous amount of wires and pins with 6096 contact points. To feed all that core galore, the thermal design would change from 280 watts to 320~ 400 watts. AMD's Genoa server CPU will probably be unveiled at the end of 2022.
