Performance Leadership

  • Break Through The Boundaries And Create A Lead

    Virtually everything runs better on AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series powered servers.

    Whether you run enterprise applications, virtualized and cloud computing environments, software-defined infrastructure, high-performance computing, or data analytic applications.

    EPYC™ processor-based systems are #1 on industry benchmarks, including those measuring integer, floating-point, virtualization, database, and HPC performance1.

    AMD EPYC™ 7742 processor has set new world records that establish AMD as THE performance leader.

Continuing innovation

  • The Secret Is Under The Hood

    AMD Infinity Architecture is a hybrid multi-die architecture that is reaching new heights with AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series processors.

    AMD Infinity Architecture now decouples two streams: eight dies for the processor cores, and one I/O die that supports security and communication outside the processor.

    With the agility to deliver the leading-edge process technology for CPU cores while letting I/O circuitry develop at its own rate, new capabilities can be brought to market faster with EPYC™ because its die design is not monolithic.

    This has allowed EPYC™ to race to leadership in the market and continue to innovate in the future.

Good Materials Good Quality

  • Forged From The Finest Silicon

    AMD is first to market an x86 processor based on 7nm technology. With double the core density and optimizations that improve instructions per cycle, the result is 4x the Floating-Point performance of 1st Gen AMD EPYC™.


    ###Based on standard calculation method for determining FLOPS.


    7nm process technology also brings energy efficiency. 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ can provide the same performance at half the power consumption.


    ###Based on June 8, 2018 AMD internal testing of same-architecture product ported from 14 to 7 nm technology with similar implementation flow/methodology, using performance from SGEMM.

EPYC™ By The Numbers

AMD EPYC™ has been engineered for data centers that rely on CPU performance. From oil and gas exploration, to in-memory databases, to big data analytics to production rendering to standard data center applications, highly parallel workloads have more cores to work with.
AMD EPYC™ 7002 generation processors scale from 8 to 64 cores (16 to 128 threads per socket). No other x86 vendor today enables such a core density in the market

Safety First

  • Enabling Software Boot Without Corruption

    The AMD EPYC™ processor secure root of trust is designed to validate the initial BIOS software boot without corruption.


    In virtualized environments, you can cryptographically check that your entire software stack is booted without corruption on a cloud server or services you choose.

Take Precautions

  • Restrict Internal Vulnerabilities

    With encrypted memory, attacks on the integrity of main memory (such as cold-boot attacks) are inhibited because any data obtained is encrypted.


    High-performance encryption engines integrated into the memory channels help speed performance.


    All of this is accomplished without modifications to your application software.

Architecture Protection

  • Safeguarding Virtual And Cloud Infrastructure

    Safeguarding virtual and cloud infrastructure 2nd Gen EPYC™ helps safeguard privacy and integrity by encrypting each virtual machine with one of up to 509 unique encryption keys known only to the processor.


    This aids in protecting confidentiality of your data even if a malicious virtual machine finds a way into your virtual machine’s memory, or a compromised hypervisor reaches into a guest virtual machine.

All-in Feature Set

AMD takes pride in having transparent relationships with its partners and customers. This means having an “all-in” feature set that isn’t contrived to extract higher prices from customers.
With AMD EPYC™, you have the agility to choose the processor your application requires without worrying about whether an important feature or capability is included. Whatever the number of cores you choose, you’ll have the I/O, memory, and memory bandwidth to accomplish what you need.

Unconventional

  • First-to-market PCIe® 4.0 readiness

    AMD EPYC™ is the first and only current x86-architecture server processor supporting PCIe 4.0.


    PCIe 4.0 delivers double the I/O performance over PCIe 3.0. You can use 128 lanes of I/O to double the network bandwidth that ties together HPC clusters and satisfies voracious needs for east-west bandwidth.


    For other application needs and in virtualized environments, you can connect with higher speed to GPU accelerators, NVMe drives, and you can even use integrated disk controllers to access spinning disks without the typical bottleneck of a PCIe RAID controller.

Superior Compatibility

  • X86 Compatibility

    You can have confidence in AMD EPYC™ 7002 generation processors because virtually all software will just work.


    We work with the open source community and major software vendors to help ensure your applications and enabling software will work exceptionally well with EPYC™.


    The broad ecosystem of open tools and libraries are more reasons why top cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud are providing services to customers based on AMD EPYC™ processors.

Stand Out

  • 1-Socket EPYC™ server advantage

    Traditional CPUs typically must scale up to a 2-socket server to overcome an imbalance of resources.


    With AMD EPYC™, 1-socket servers satisfy most of your workload needs, helping you increase density and reduce capital, power, and cooling expenses.


    With a 1-socket EPYC™ server, you can cut licensing costs up to 50% with ‘per-socket software’8 such as VMware® vSphere or vSAN.

Be top of the security chain

AMD EPYC™ is ‘Hardened at the Core’ with advanced security features.
It is the first server CPU with an integrated and dedicated security processor providing the foundation for Secure Boot, Secure Memory Encryption (SME) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV).
So you can worry less about data risk and focus more on running your business.
