THE EVOLUTION OF THE DATACENTER The demands of the modern datacenter have rapidly evolved, with software innovation outpacing the capabilities of hardware technology. The Internet of Things, the Cloud, and a growing mobile workforce have transformed datacenters into service providers, delivering secure and on-demand data. However, traditional x86 server CPUs have only seen incremental improvements, leaving datacenters constrained and lacking in innovation. INTRODUCING AMD EPYC To meet the changing needs of the datacenter, a new breed of processor is required. AMD EPYC is a system on chip (SoC) designed from the ground up to deliver real innovation and efficiently support the demands of modern datacenters. With 32 cores, 64 threads, 8 memory channels, and up to 2 TB of memory per socket, EPYC provides the power and flexibility needed for today's datacenter applications. POWERING PERFORMANCE EPYC offers breakthrough processing power, balanced with industry-leading memory and I/O capacity to eliminate performance bottlenecks. With the ability to choose from 8 to 32 cores, EPYC allows for the deployment of the right hardware platforms for various workloads, from virtualized infrastructure to big data and analytics. Its high memory capacity and bandwidth enable efficient processing of memory-intensive workloads, while its industry-leading I/O bandwidth supports I/O-intensive tasks. ENHANCING EFFICIENCY EPYC's balanced set of resources allows for the right-sizing of datacenter infrastructure, leading to enhanced performance and cost efficiency. With fewer cores, EPYC can still provide ample memory capacity and I/O, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for datacenters of all sizes. Additionally, EPYC's hardware-embedded x86 server security solution provides protection against sophisticated threats, ensuring the security of your data.
