OpenAI’s dots run on nine-core AMD EPYC VMs, Geekbench data shows
A leaked Geekbench 7 result suggests OpenAI’s autonomous agents, called dots, run on a single nine-core slice of an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 9.73GB of memory. The pre-launch benchmark posted on X by INIYSA recorded a multi-core score of 9,435, higher than the post-launch median of 8,550.
Key points
- OpenAI’s dots run on a nine-core AMD EPYC 9V74 VM with 9.73GB memory, per leaked Geekbench 7 data
- Pre-launch benchmark scored 9,435 multi-core, exceeding post-launch median of 8,550, per INIYSA’s X post
The hardware setup contrasts with Meta’s Muse, which reportedly uses AMD EPYC Turin with two cores and 8GB per sandbox. Muse’s median scores are about 1,394 for multi-core. OpenAI’s dots also include preloaded apps like Chromium, Blender, and Python. The article notes rising demand for high-core-count CPUs in AI agents, with SpaceXAI planning Nvidia Vera CPUs for Grok’s workloads.
