AMD Epyc Gen 4 will have 128 cores, 5nm tech
-
AMD unveils its first processors based on its new Zen 4 architecture.
The first, nicknamed Genoa, is built for general-purpose computing and packs up to 96 cores (thanks in part to a 5nm process) as well as support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 peripherals. It arrives sometime in 2022, and partners are sampling chips now.

The top of the line AMD Gen 3 today is the 64 core EPYC 7763 2.45 GHz base clock and 3.5GHz turbo boost. 256MB L3 cache and 280W TDP.
That one is $8K list so the 96 core will be north of that. So maybe $12K or so.

With these prices I feel the line in that snippet is a bit false advertising. I wouldn't consider a 12k processor a "General Propose" computer. That would be more a specific use case in workstations

That put those nice two words in there "up to.." to cover their ass.

EPYC are server processors, and these are standard general use. Balanced workload use with high thread count for virtualization.
