Abstract
This article introduces the new 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors and their availability in Lenovo ThinkSystem servers.
Introduction
Lenovo is pleased to announce the support of the newest addition to the AMD EPYC family, the 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 series processors, formerly codenamed “Turin”. These processors are supported on the ThinkSystem V3 servers that currently support the 4th Gen "Genoa" processors.

5th Gen AMD EPYC
5th Gen AMD EPYC processors are built on the new Zen 5 cores, scaling all the way from 8 cores/16 threads up to 192 cores/384 threads. Performance-per-watt is a key feature of these new processors, which is especially useful to customers who are already running at full power capacity in their data centers, needing to find ways to implement AI solutions.
Security is another key focus area - becoming even more important in the AI era as data is moved outside the boundary of the CPU across PCIe lanes to GPUs and other devices. With the new Trust IO feature, expanding the trust domain to include these other devices is an essential step to further reduce attack surfaces and keep data safe.
These powerful Zen 5 cores extend performance leadership and enable AVX512 with a full 512-bit data path. 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 includes processors with peak frequencies of 5GHz, ideal for compute bound workloads in HPC, core-based licensed applications. They are an excellent companion processor for high-performance GPUs, enabling customers to maximum their GPU-accelerated infrastructure investments.
Processors in the EPYC 9005 series are divided into two groups, those with the Zen 5 design, and those with the Zen 5c design.
- Zen 5 processors are ideal for workloads needing the best possible per-core performance. This includes legacy applications that use fewer threads for their processing, or applications that have license limitations.
- Zen 5c processors have an increased core density, and offer the best power efficiency. They are best for containerized workloads a maximum scale.
