History
In June 2017, with the launch of the first generation Epyc server processors, AMD introduced the SP3 socket. The SP3 socket covered three generations of Epyc processors, including Naples, Rome and Milan. AMD's Genoa processors contain up to 96 Zen 4 cores compared to Milan's maximum of 64 cores. In support of Genoa's 96 cores, AMD introduced the SP5 socket with 2022 more contact pins than the SP3 socket to provide greater power delivery and signal integrity. SP5 can provide a peak power of up to 700 W.{{cite web |last1=Mujtaba |first1=Hassan |date=April 7, 2022 |title=AMD SP5 Socket Pictured In All Its Glory, LGA 6096 For Future EPYC CPUs With 96 Cores & Above |url=https://wccftech.com/amd-sp5-socket-pictured-in-all-its-glory-lga-6096-for-future-epyc-cpus-96-cores-above/ |website=Wccftech |language=en-US |access-date=November 11, 2022}}
