2ND GEN AMD EPYC™ ARE A NEW GENERATION OF SERVER PROCESSORS,
THAT SET A HIGHER STANDARD FOR DATA CENTERS.
Breakthrough design makes AMD EPYC™ #1 in performance in industry-standard benchmarks1. Performance you can count on to drive your modern data center workloads. "Hardened at the Core" protection helps defend against side-channel attacks, and the EPYC's secure, encrypted virtualization capabilities keep your data safe. The processor's agility helps you easily and cost-effectively manage new deployments and changing workloads with the system resources you need. AMD is the server processor company you can count on for innovation and leadership today and in the future.
FIRST MARKET-READY PCIE® 4.0 READINESS
AMD EPYC™ is the first and only current x86 architecture server processor to support PCIe 4.06. PCIe 4.0 delivers twice the I/O performance of PCIe 3.0, and you can use 128 I/O lanes to double the network bandwidth that connects HPC clusters and satisfies the insatiable demand for east-west bandwidth. For other application needs and in virtualized environments, you can connect to GPU accelerators and NVMe drives at higher speeds and even use integrated disk controllers to access spinning disks without the typical bottleneck of a PCIe RAID controller.
THE SECRET LIES UNDER THE HOOD
AMD Infinity Architecture is a hybrid multi-die architecture that sets new standards with the AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series processors. The AMD Infinity Architecture now decouples two die streams: eight dies for the processor cores and one I/O die that supports security and communications outside the processor. With the agility to deliver leading-edge process technology to the CPU cores while evolving I/O circuitry at its own pace, new features can be brought to market faster with EPYC™ because its die design is not monolithic. This has enabled EPYC™ to become the market leader and continue to innovate in the future.
FORGED FROM THE FINEST SILICON
AMD is the first to launch an x86 processor based on 7nm technology. With twice the core density and optimizations that improve instructions per cycle, the result is 4x higher floating point performance than the first generation AMD EPYC™. The second generation AMD EPYC™ 7nm process technology brings more energy efficiency and can deliver the same performance at half the power consumption.
BEING AT THE TOP OF THE SAFETY 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 that provides 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 your business.
ENABLE SOFTWARE BOOT WITHOUT DAMAGE
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 verify that your entire software stack boots without corruption on a cloud server or services of your choice.
LIMIT INTERNAL VULNERABILITIES
With encrypted memory, attacks on the integrity of main memory (e.g. cold boot attacks) are prevented because all acquired data is encrypted. Powerful encryption engines built into the memory channels help improve performance. All this is achieved without any changes to your application software.
SECURING THE VIRTUAL AND CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
The 2nd Gen EPYC™ helps protect privacy and integrity by encrypting each virtual machine with one of up to 509 unique encryption keys known only to the processor. This helps protect the confidentiality of your data even if a malicious virtual machine finds a way into your virtual machine memory or a compromised hypervisor gets into a guest virtual machine.
PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP
Virtually anything runs better on AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series servers. Whether you're running enterprise applications, virtualized and cloud computing environments, software-defined infrastructures, high-performance computing, or data analytics applications. EPYC™ processor-based systems are #1 in industry benchmarks, including those that measure integer, floating-point, virtualization, database and HPC performance1. The AMD EPYC™ 7742 processor has set new world records that establish AMD as THE performance leader.
