AMD unveiled fourth generation Epyc server processors

With the advent of the fourth generation of Epyc server processors, Amd brought the Zen 4 architecture to the server environment as well. The new processors deliver cutting-edge performance, increased energy efficiency, and impressive performance.

Lisa Su, president and CEO of AMD, said, “Choosing the right data center processor is more important than ever, and the Fourth generation Epycs deliver leadership in every aspect .

The data center represents the largest growth opportunity and the most strategic priority for Amd.

Modular design

The new AMD Epyc processors from fourth generation are designed to deliver optimizations across all market segments and applications while helping enterprises free up data center resources.

With up to 96 cores in a single processor , the new processors allow customers to deploy more powerful servers to continue meeting their computing needs.

Amd continues to follow the Security by Design approach, which translates into security features advanced for processors. The new generation expands AMD Infinity Guard, a cutting-edge feature set that offers physical and virtual levels of protection.

The new generation of Epyc provides a comprehensive feature set; customers who only need to choose the number of cores and frequency that best suits their workload needs.

The new architecture introduces support for DDR5 memory and the PCI Express 5 standard, which are essential for AI and ML applications.

In addition, they support CXL 1.1+ for memory expansion, helping customers meet the demands for higher in-memory workload capacity.

Expanding ecosystem

During the presentation event, several partners announced the integration of the new architecture into their solutions. Among the many interested partners are Dell, Google Cloud, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Supermicro and VMware.
