The new AMD EPYC 97X4 Processors, are the highest-performing members of the processor family formerly code-named “Bergamo”. These processors offer no-compromise performance, density, and energy efficiency for containers, cloud native computing, and modern applications.

At our Datacenter and AI Technology Premier event,  AMD expanded the 4th Gen AMD EPYC ™ processor family by introducing two additional processor models in the 4th Gen AMD EPYC family. First, AMD debuted the AMD EPYC 97x4 processors, codenamed “Bergamo”, the industry’s first x86 processors purpose-built for cloud-native computing. You can read more about it in my previous blog. This blog discusses AMD EPYC 9xx4 processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, codenamed “Genox-X”.

The hard costs (Power, Cooling, Maintenance, Licensing, etc.) of not replace aging servers may actually be more expensive that upgrading to AMD EPYC based servers - AND that doesn't count the soft costs - like increased unplanned downtime and increased security risks.  By upgrading to AMD, you could realize a 24% per core performance gain, while decreasing annual costs by ~50%.

This week, we introduced two additional processor models to the 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processor family at the Datacenter and AI Technology Premier. I am excited to take this opportunity to provide an update on the software ecosystem readiness and showcase some of the performance proof points for the AMD EPYC 97x4 processors.

A new AMD STAC-N1™ benchmark result powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ 9374F processors using UDP over 25GbE using AMD Xilinx OpenOnload® on Red Hat Enterprise Linux® 8.6 with AMD Xilinx XtremeScale™ X2522-25G-PLUS adapters was just published. The system under test was two HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 servers powered by AMD EPYC™ 9374Fprocessors @ 3.85 GHz (4.3 GHz boost1). The benchmark results demonstrate that 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors are ideal for the Financial Services Industry (FSI) and provide evidence that the AMD acquisition of Xilinx delivers strong performance and adaptive computing to this market.

Movies today use the latest Computer Graphics (CG) technology, including 3D and High Frame Rate, to capture striking images and render amazing action scenes. I am excited and proud to share that 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors are part of this process of creating and rendering these realistic digital experiences. AMD has established a leadership role in the media and entertainment industry and has the proven ability to impact every level of filmmaking and content creation. Artists and creators of these digital movies have an insatiable appetite for performance, and 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors deliver that performance.

In this blog, I will discuss the ways that AMD and VMware have worked together to make migrating from Legacy IT Infrastructures easy!

In this blog, I will briefly explain what seismic exploration is, how it works, and how it can be used for many different purposes. I will then share some generational and competitive performance information showcasing 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors compared to both 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors and Intel® Xeon® processors. I’ll conclude by summarizing why these results are important for seismic exploration.

Since their debut in November 2022, 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors continue to demonstrate superb server performance across a growing variety of workloads, including winning new world records for high performance. 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors include design innovations, up to 96 compute cores on a single socket, allowing data centers to deploy fewer, more powerful servers to meet today’s demands. This strong performance is seen across a broad set of workloads. This blog showcases the impact on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.

Note: Updated April 4th, 2023 with new AI/ML workloads using AMD ZenDNN 4.0.

Digital transformation continues to redefine today’s enterprises through data-driven decisions. This in turn demands high performance and secure infrastructure that reduces costs while decreasing the carbon footprint. The AMD EPYC™ line of processors introduced in 2017 continues to generate momentum across industry verticals that provide a rich portfolio of software solutions for both traditional on-premises and modern hybrid cloud environments. AMD is responding to this digital transformation with solutions that exceed industry expectations by delivering leadership performance, price-performance, and energy efficiency.
