Cloudflare evaluates 4th‑gen AMD EPYC CPUs (Genoa, Bergamo, Genoa‑X) for Gen 12 servers using internal benchmarks and production telemetry, analyzing core, frequency, and L3 cache sensitivity. Results show near‑linear core scaling, performance gains with higher all‑core frequency up to 400W cTDP, and strong sensitivity to larger L3 cache. Genoa‑X 9684X delivers the highest throughput and efficiency (up to 2.75× lab and 2.45× production performance over Milan 7713, with 1.63× performance per watt), leading Cloudflare to select it for Gen 12 due to best TCO.
