The 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors bring next-generation architecture, technology, and features to the modern data center. Built on the “Zen 4” core
Today, at
the “together we advance data centers” event, AMD announced the general availability of the 4th Gen AMD EPYC
processors; with unmatched performance for critical workloads across cloud,
enterprise and high performance computing .
The 4th Gen
AMD EPYC processors bring next-generation architecture, technology, and
features to the modern data center. Built on the “Zen 4” core, the highest
performance core ever from AMD , the processors deliver leadership performance,
energy efficiency and help customers
accelerate data center modernization for greater application throughput and
more actionable insights.
“Choosing
the right data center processor is more important than ever, and 4th Gen EPYC
processors deliver leadership in every dimension,” said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and
CEO, AMD. “The data center represents the largest growth opportunity and most
strategic priority for AMD, and we are committed to making AMD the partner of
choice by offering the industry’s broadest portfolio of high-performance and
adaptive computing engines. We have built the best data center CPU roadmap in
the industry, and with 4th Gen EPYC we deliver another major step forward in
performance and efficiency to make the best server processor roadmap even
better. With a significantly expanded set of solutions on-track to launch from
our ecosystem of partners, customers selecting 4th Gen EPYC to power their data
centers can improve performance, consolidate their infrastructure, and lower
energy costs.”
Accelerating
Results and Driving Actionable Insights for Businesses
4th Gen AMD
EPYC processors are designed to deliver optimizations across market segments
and applications, while helping businesses free data center resources to create
additional workload processing and accelerate output.
With 4th
Gen AMD EPYC processors, businesses can:
- Support Performance and Efficiency. With up to 96 cores in a single processor, the new AMD EPYC processors can enable customers to deploy fewer and more powerful servers to continue to meet their compute needs. This allows them to drive greater flexibility within the data center that can be leveraged to address business sustainability goals and drive real-world dividends.
- Help Keep Data Secure. Through a “Security by Design”
approach, AMD continues to deliver enhanced security features in x86 CPUs.
The 4th Gen AMD EPYC processor series expands on AMD Infinity Guard, a
cutting-edge set of features that offers physical and virtual layers of
protection. With 2X the number of encryption keys compared to previous
generations, 4th Gen EPYC processors help customers keep data secure,
whether it is stored locally, in the cloud, or residing in storage.
- Use the Latest Industry Features and
Architectures.
These processors continue to provide customers with an “all-in” feature
set, with customers just needing to pick the core count and frequency that
matches their workload needs. The 4th Gen AMD EPYC processor introduces
support for DDR5 memory and PCIe® Gen 5, which are critical for AI and ML
applications. In addition, 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors support CXL® 1.1+
for memory expansion, helping customers to meet demands for larger
in-memory workload capacity.
All of
these features and capabilities ultimately enable customers to use the 4th Gen
EPYC processors to drive infrastructure consolidation with similar or better
performance; thereby helping reduce the costs and energy consumption of their
data center.
Expanding
the AMD EPYC Processor Ecosystem
At the
“together we advance data centers” event, AMD executives were backed by
numerous cloud, software and OEM partners including Dell Technologies, Google
Cloud, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Supermicro
and VMware. These partners highlighted their support for 4th Gen AMD EPYC
processors:
- Dell Technologies announced the next
generation of Dell PowerEdge servers with 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors. Providing
impressive application performance, the new systems are designed to help
customers more effectively power demanding, compute-centric workloads such
as data analytics.
- Google Cloud discussed incorporating 4th
Gen AMD EPYC processors into Google Cloud Compute Engine and highlighted
how AMD EPYC processors in its data centers are helping Google with their
efficiency goals. As well, they highlighted the use of AMD EPYC processors
to deliver leading price-performance in the Google Cloud Tau VMs and
highly-secure data protection with Google Cloud’s Confidential Computing
portfolio.
- HPE announced
new HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers that support 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors
that are also available through a pay-as-you-go consumption model with HPE
GreenLake. HPE also announced support for 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors
across its supercomputing portfolio with the new HPE Cray EX2500 and HPE
Cray XD2000 supercomputers.
- Lenovo introduced 21 new ThinkSystem
servers and ThinkAgile hyperconverged (HCI) solutions, powered by 4th Gen
AMD EPYC processors, including ThinkAgile VX and ThinkAgile HX to enable
fast hybrid multi-cloud deployment and simplify infrastructure management.
- Microsoft announced a Preview of new
Virtual Machines (VMs) for HPC. HBv4-series VMs and the all new HX-series
VMs are both powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors. Each will feature AMD
3D V-Cache Technology when they reach General Availability in 2023.
Microsoft also announced additional VMs and containers using 4th Gen AMD
EPYC are forthcoming.
- The latest Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
(OCI) E5 compute instances are powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors to
be used by customers such as Oracle Red Bull Racing for development of
their next generation of powertrain projects. Oracle will also provide
enhanced security with OCI Confidential Computing, based on AMD Secure
Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors additionally
power MySQL HeatWave, Oracle Autonomous Database and Exadata Database
Service on OCI.
- Supermicro announced significant additions
to its broad line of servers supporting the new 4th Gen AMD EPYC
processors in the A+ series
- VMware announced vSphere® 8 support and
optimization for 4th Gen EPYC processor powered systems is available now.
4th Gen AMD
EPYC can provide up to 2.8X more performance, up to 54 percent less power ,
have added to the more than 300 world records
held by AMD EPYC processors and are supported by a complete software and
hardware ecosystem spanning a variety of workloads including, database,
virtualization, AI/ML, HPC and more. You can see more about the AMD EPYC
ecosystem here. Watch the keynote replay here and visit the
