Within the framework of the ‘Together we advance_data centers’ event of AMDwhich took place between November 9 and 10 in San Francisco, California, the technology company presented the new generation of 4th generation EPYC server processors.

“The need for that energy efficiency and optimizations will continue to grow, and that’s what we’re trying to do.. We believe that [el ahorro energético de los procesadores AMD] will solve most workloads in today’s market”, stressed to El Comercio Ram Peddibhotla, corporate vice president and product management at AMD.
“The data centers of the future I think will continue to be some kind of mega data centers. Somewhere in between the underlying characteristics of them will still be efficiency and performance”, added the AMD executive and one of the representatives of the team behind EPYC.
As you remember, AMD announced that its 4th generation EPYC processors feature significant optimization improvements. compared to previous versions, since they have introduced improvements that increase performance and energy savings.

Likewise, these processors are based on the Zen 4 architecture, AMD’s highest productivity processor and processors ensure good performance and allow users to accelerate data center modernization.
“The new AMD EPYC processors enable our partners and customers to create amazing, high-performance, and energy-efficient solutions that support the industry’s insatiable demand for compute and productivity.said Lisa Su, president of AMD during the presentation.
What features do EPYC 4th generation server processors have?
It was revealed that a single processor will have up to 96 cores, which increases the power of data centers and also decreases the number of servers to achieve a certain objective. In that way? We have fewer servers, but with higher performance. Namely, Less machines, same power.
From AMD they indicate that this can be used to address the business sustainability goals and realize real-world benefits.
But power is not the only thing, as safety was also emphasized. For it, AMD announced an expansion of Infinity Guard, the set of features that provide physical and virtual layers of protection for processors. With twice the number of encryption keys than previous generations, 4th generation EPYC processors protect data stored locally, in the cloud, or on a storage drive.
In addition, 4th generation EPYC processors bring support for DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 memory, essential elements for Artificial Intelligence and ML applications. The processors also support CXL 1.1+ for memory expansion, helping to support higher workload capacity demands on memory.
Regarding the prices, figures range from US$1,083 to US$11,805depending on the number of cores, power and consumption.
