Raphael’s integrated graphics carry an ID of GFX1036, which is part of the same GFX1030 branch as Beige Goby, Yellow Carp and Van Gogh, all of which are RDNA2 iGPUs. This is why iGPU’s Radeon Audio controller is detected as “Rembrandt”, a codename for Ryzen 6000 mobile series.
AMD SP6 (LGA4844), Source: SteinFGThis socket has been explained in leaked slides as a platform for edge and telco systems, therefore, where power optimizations are just as crucial as performance. According to those slides, this socket would support up to 32-core Genoa (Zen4) EPYC processors and up to 64-core Bergamo (Zen4c) series. The power would also be limited to 225W, which is nearly half of what the full SP5 socket can support.
The SP6 socket looks more or less the same as the SP3 socket for the current Milan series. In fact, the size is identical (58.5 x 75.4 mm), however the SP6 has a different LGA package with 4844 contact pins. That’s a significant reduction from 6096 for the SP5 socket.
- Socket SP3 – LGA 4094 -58.5 x 75.4 mm
- Socket SP5 – LGA 6096 – 76.0 x 80.0 mm
- Socket SP6 – LGA 4844 -58.5 x 75.4 mm
This document defines the requirements for a 4844-position, 0.94 mm × 0.81 mm interstitial pitch, surface-mount land-grid array (SM-LGA) socket—herein referred to as the Socket SP6—for use with the AMD 4844-position organic land grid array (OLGA) package that has substrate dimensions of 58.5 mm × 75.4 mm. The Socket SP6, shown in Figure 1, is designed to provide a reliable electrical interconnect between the printed circuit board (PCB) and the 4844 land pads of the OLGA package throughout the life of the product.

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-sp6...pyc-series-has-been-pictured-same-size-as-sp3One of our readers made a suggestion that 4th Gen EPYC series could now be divided into high-performance 7004 series and efficiency-focused EPYC 5004 CPUs, which makes a lot of sense. Furthermore, the latter option could open more possibilities for AMD to engage the consumer HEDT market.
At OCP Summit, Meta disclosed the North Dome platform that puts an AMD EPYC 7003 processor into a sled originally designed for Intel Xeon D CPUs.
One of the big challenges AMD notes was that it had to scale its CPU down to a maximum of 95W TDP. One has to remember that Yosemite V2 was designed to be CPU agnostic, but the original launch platform was using a Xeon D-2300 series part so there is only so much TDP that Meta’s existing chassis design could handle.

Now we have a good sense of what the AMD win at Meta that was hinted at by Dr. Lisa Su earlier this week was. It appears as though AMD managed to give Meta a replacement in a Xeon-D like power envelope but with more cores. We will also note, this is a higher core count than the Intel Xeon Platinum 8321HC 26C 88W TDP part that Intel made custom for Meta’s Yosemite V3 servers. It may not seem like a lot, but adding PCIe Gen4 and 10 cores while only adding 7W of TDP is a big deal.
O Facebook tem sempre a possibilidade de criar as soluções próprias, totalmente adaptadas às necessidades deles. Nesse exemplo, têm um Epyc com 6 DIMMs, algo que nunca vi noutro produto com Epyc.Mas uma das possibilidades que entretanto parece ter-se aberto é mesmo essa: competir com o mercado dos Xeon-D.
