Abstract
Lenovo customers get breakthrough performance and energy efficiency with 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors featuring AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology.
Today, AMD has announced new processors in the 4th Gen AMD EPYC family; the AMD EPYC 9004 Series processors, Based on Zen 4c architecture (formerly codenamed "Bergamo") and the 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology (formerly codenamed "Genoa-X". Lenovo plans to support these new high-performance processors in our new ThinkSystem V3 servers.

AMD processors
Today, AMD has announced new 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors:
- 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors based on Zen 4c architecture (formerly codenamed "Bergamo")
The newest iteration of 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors are optimized Zen 4c architecture. These processors have higher core counts, up to 128 cores, targeted at cloud native applications that are designed to exploit the scale, elasticity, resiliency, and flexibility of private & public clouds. The processors offer leadership x86 core density and energy efficiency while maintaining the proven, trusted Zen software compatibility.
- 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology (formerly codenamed "Genoa-X")
Designed with up to 96 powerful Zen 4 cores and up to 1.15 GB of L3 cache, 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology deliver breakthrough performance on targeted technical computing workloads such as Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software and solutions. For many challenging workloads, having access to this large L3 cache enables improved performance by continuously feeding the processor with data without having to access main memory outside of the CPU, and empowering customers to realize faster time-to-results.

Processor features
The following table lists the features of the new AMD EPYC processors.
Key features of these processors:
- The processors with AMD 3D V-Cache have much larger L3 cache, up to 1150 MB
- The processors with Zen 4c architecture have higher core counts, up to 128 cores
† The maximum single-core frequency that the processor is capable of operating
