Zen 4 AMD EPYC Genoa to support AVX3-512 and BFLOAT16 in early blow against Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids

More details about AMD's EPYC Genoa series, which is apparently scheduled for a 2022 launch, have been leaked. It is believed the Zen 4 server chips will support AVX3-512, BFLOAT16, and have a squarer overall package shape. If the rumors are true, then Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids may struggle to compete against EPYC Genoa.

"...uphill battle in the server arena"

Intel has around 92% of x86 server share. That's hard to consider an uphill battle.

Intel has been "broadly sampling" their Sapphire Rapids server chip since q4 ... pcie5, cxl, ddr5, avx512, amx tiled matrix operations, dlboost ai inference operations, Optane DIMM support.

Millions of low performance servers mean nothing when the largest players in the market are using EPYCs.
Beaides nation-state players like the new exaflop supercomputers running exclusively on AMD hardware, AWS also employs EPYCs for their high end compute clusters.

This isn't a market share issue, year for year, core for core, AMD is destroying Intel's HPC customer base.

At 72 mm x 75.4 mm, that is one huge chip.
