The new Zen 4 AMD EPYC 9004 "Genoa" server processors offer a significant performance boost over their predecessors, and they will be excellent choices for SQL Server 2022. They have a 14% IPC uplift and higher base and boost clock speeds. This means that raw single-threaded CPU performance should increase by 25-30% in most workloads.

AMD EPYC 9004 has up to 96C/192T with twelve channels of DDR5-4800 memory, 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 support and 64 lanes of CXL 1.1 support. This family also has AVX-512 support which SQL Server 2022 can leverage to help Columnstore queries in batch mode.

Early Geekbench scores provide more evidence of how much more raw CPU performance Genoa has. SQL Server 2022 will also get a substantial benefit from platform improvements like DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.
