AMD has revealed its strategy aimed at the implementation of data centers and artificial intelligence, introducing new devices and services that will help shape the future of the company within the IT sector. Hand in hand with its commercial allies, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Citadel, Hugging Face, Meta, Microsoft Azure, and PyTorch, the company has showcased various applications for the fourth-generation EPYC CPUs.
Among the processors that were introduced is the EPYC 97X4 (codename “Bergamo”), geared towards cloud performance. It has 128 Zen 4c cores per socket and provides superior vCPU density with energy efficient performance. This technology is being used by Meta, which claims to get outstanding performance for its main applications, such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and other services it provides.
3D V-Cache comes to EPYC CPUs
AMD also introduced 3D V-Cache technology (codenamed “Genoa-X”) for 4th generation EPYC CPUs, coming to x86 servers. Microsoft announced that it is working with the general availability for Azure HBv4 and HX, equipped with the processors of its line and guaranteeing a performance beyond what is seen in the 3rd generation.
Another highlight is partnering with AWS to preview next-generation Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7, powered by AMD Genoa. Oracle also revealed that it has plans to include the fourth generation EPYC CPUs in its new Oracle Computing Ingrastrucutre (OCI) E5.
AMD keep working
According to the president and CEO of AMD, Dr. Lisa Su, These ads are part of the company’s new approach. “We took another significant step in our data center strategy by expanding our fourth-generation EPYC processor family with new solutions for cloud computing and technical workloads, and announcing new public instances and internal deployments with data center providers. largest data centers in the world.
For the CEO, artificial intelligence is one of the aspects that will bring evolution in this scenario. “AI is the technology that defines the next generation of computing and the greatest strategic growth opportunity for us. We are focused on accelerating the implementation of AMD AI platforms at scale in the data center, led by the launch of our Instinct MI300 accelerators planned later this year and the growing ecosystem of AI software optimized for our hardware.”
