Introduction

On October 10, 2025, AMD releases its newest data center processor. The 5th Gen EPYC 9005, code-named Turin, is built on the same SP5 platform as the last generation AMD EPYC 9004. EPYC 9005 features up to 192 Zen 5c cores for efficiency-optimized deployments and up to 128 Zen 5 cores for high-performance optimized deployments.

192 cores is leadership in processor density currently even with Intel’s recently launched Xeon 6700E with 144 e-cores. Intel plans to launch a 288 E-core variant of Xeon 6 but AMD's EPYC 9965 has an upper hand featuring hyperthreading with 384 threads.
