AMD EPYC™ 7000 Series Processors: Revolutionary Performance for the Cloud Era

THE CHANGING DEMANDS OF THE DATA CENTER

Data centers have rapidly evolved, with software innovation greatly surpassing the ability of hardware technology to efficiently support it. The Internet of Things, the Cloud, and an ever increasing mobile workforce have transformed data centers of all sizes to become service providers, providing intelligible data on demand in a secure manner.

Over the past decade, there have been major advances within the software ecosystem, while the x86 server CPU has seen only incremental and comparatively nominal improvements, leaving the modern datacenter constrained and starved for innovation. A new era of computing demands a new breed of processor, one with the power to efficiently support the workloads of today’s software-defined data center while providing protection from the silicon level up against sophisticated threats.

To achieve optimized performance for today’s data center applications, a processor that delivers more performance, ﬂexibility, and security through a better balance of resources is essential. AMD oers the innovation required for the cloud-era datacenter with AMD EPYC—a system on chip (SoC) that is designed from the ground up to deliver real innovation to efficiently support the needs of existing and future data centers.

POWERING THE DATA CENTER

The modern data center needs more cores, more memory, more I/O, and more security. AMD EPYC powers the datacenter with up to 32 cores, 64 threads, 8 memory channels supporting up to 2 TB of memory per socket, and 128 PCIe-3 lanes coupled with the industry’s first hardware-embedded x86 server security solution. With servers built on EPYC technology, cloud environments can drive greater scale and performance, virtualized data centers can further increase consolidation ratios while enabling better performing virtual machines, while Big Data and analytics environments can collect and analyze larger data sets much faster. High performance applications in research labs can solve complex problem sets in a significantly accelerated manner. EPYC, with all the critical compute, memory, I/O, and security resources brought together in the SoC with the right ratios, delivers industry-leading performance7 and enables lower TCO.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE

AMD EPYC provides breakthrough processing power balanced with the industry le ading memory and I/O capacity to virtually eliminate performance bottlenecks. With the flexibility to choose from 8 to 32 cores, EPYC enables you to deploy the right hardware platforms to meet your workload needs from virtualized infrastructure to large-scale big-data and analytics platforms and legacy line-of-business applications. You can rightsize your infrastructure using EPYC with fewer cores without sacrificing memory capacity or I/O. EPYC provides the memory capacity and bandwidth to processor cores to efficiently run memory-intensive workloads. With EPYC you can leverage industry-leading I/O bandwidth6 that matches the capability of the CPU cores to move data to and from the network while supporting I/O-intensive workloads. EPYC, with a balanced set of resources, offers you an unprecedented opportunity to rightsize your data center infrastructure for enhanced performance and cost efficiency.

AMD EPYC: Leading Performance for the Cloud Era

1-SOCKET SERVERS THAT CAN DELIVER 2-SO

CKET SERVER PERFORMANCE

Today, the vast majority of servers populating the data center are two-socket servers, and the majority of these servers are greatly underutilized. Data centers are full of these additional memory, I/O, or enterprise management features not previously available in traditional single-socket servers. EPYC processor-based No-Compromise Single-Socket servers change this. With up to 32 multithreaded cores, 8 memory channels supporting up to 2 TB of RAM, 128 PCIe-3 lanes, and the industry’s first hardware-embedded x86 server security solution,

EPYC powered 1P servers can meet the needs of your applications with more system resources and greater flexibility. AMD EPYC processor-based No- Compromise Single-Socket servers with a better balance of resources enable

you to efficiently run many former two-socket-server workloads and provide real-world performance gains while enabling lower total cost of ownership.

end at a firewall. Companies of all sizes face increasing risks of hacking that lead to data theft, ransomware, and other forms of exploitation. Security threats have become more complex as the number of attack vectors increase among more and more attack surfaces—both external and internal. AMD EPYC processor-based servers help shield the datacenter from external and internal threats, working to keep software and data safe while booting, running, and moving from server to server. The AMD Secure Root-of-Trust technology, with a secure root of trust, ensures that only cryptographically signed software is booted, depending on your server vendor’s implementation. AMD Secure Run Technology encrypts all software and data in memory, working to guard against unauthorized snooping and cold boot attacks while supporting secure VM isolation. AMD Secure Move technology will enable secure migration of virtual machines and containers between EPYC processor-based servers. AMD EPYC, with the industry’s first hardware-embedded x86 server security solution, provides unprecedented security features for your datacenter software and data, helping keep them safe while booting, running, and moving between EPYC processor-powered servers.

HELPING SECURE THE DATACENTER

Securing data and software has never been more challenging or more important. As attack surfaces increase, companies of all sizes struggle to protect themselves and their customers. A sound security strategy does not

AMD EPYC can help you better align your data center resources to your workloads requirements with a system on chip that delivers more performance, more flexibility, and more security features, with a better balance of resources designed to help drive lower cost and TCO.
