AMD’s New Epyc 9755 Turin Chip: Unveiling the Powerhouse 128-Core Processor That Exceeded 108K Points

AMD’s unreleased EPYC 9755 (Turin) processor with 128 Zen 5 cores has set a new benchmark record. According to hardware leaker YuuKi_AnS , the EPYC 9755 scored 108,093 points in the CPU-Z multi-thread test, making it the fastest multi-threaded processor on the CPU-Z benchmark on the planet.

The AMD EPYC 9755 features 128 Zen 5 cores and can process 256 threads simultaneously. The CPU operates at clock speeds between 2.7 GHz and 4.1 GHz and has a thermal design power of 500W. The CPU scores 108,093 points in the CPU-Z multi-thread benchmark, 57% higher than AMD’s EPYC Bergamo, which had 128 compact Zen 4c cores and scored 68,803 points.

The new processor is also a whopping 73% faster than AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX processor with 96 full-fat Zen 4 cores and a massive 115% faster than AMD’s EPYC 9654 CPU with 96 Zen 4 cores.

Header Cell - Column 0	Configuration	CPU-Z Multi-Thread Score
EPYC 9755	Zen 5 \| 128C/256T	108,093
EPYC 9754	Zen 4c \| 128C/256T	68,803
Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7955WX	Zen 4 \| 96C/192T	62,620
EPYC 9654	Zen 4 \| 96C/192T	50,323

As for single-thread performance, the EPYC 9755 scores 653.7 points, which is not bad but is frankly nothing to write home about as this aligns with AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D scores. The highest CPU-Z single-thread score ever achieved so far is 957 points, and the record belongs to Intel’s Core i9-14900KS.

Notably, neither the EPYC 9755 processor with 128 Zen-5 cores nor the EPYC 9654 CPU with 96 Zen 4 cores are range-topping processors, so the highest-end EPYC 9000X processor yet has to show its capabilities. Also, AMD’s EPYC 9005 CPU with 192 Zen 5c cores still has to demonstrate its full potential, and it looks like this one will be extremely powerful, as improvements brought by the Zen 5 microarchitecture are substantial.

Speaking of substantial performance advantages of AMD’s Zen 5, we cannot omit the single-thread performance of AMD’s Ryzen 9000-series processors with 16 cores. Based on leaked CPU-Z benchmark results we have seen so far, the Ryzen 9 9950X is about 15% faster in single-thread workloads. It is about 9% faster in multi-thread workloads than the Ryzen 9 7950X, which is generally in line with performance advantage estimates demonstrated by AMD.
