Chipmaker AMD has introduced its 5th generation EPYC processors, aimed at enhancing performance in modern data centers. These processors, formerly known as “Turin,” feature the new “Zen 5” architecture and offer a wide range of core options, from 8 to 192, promising to improve efficiency for enterprise, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud applications.
“AMD continues to deliver innovation and efficiency, meeting the growing demands of modern data centers,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager of AMD.
The flagship processor in the new lineup is the 192-core EPYC 9965, which boasts 3.7 times faster performance on AI workloads compared to competitors. It also provides up to 4 times quicker results in business applications such as video processing. The series includes the 64-core EPYC 9575F, which is specifically designed for AI solutions requiring fast processing speeds, boosting performance up to 5GHz.
Aside from its raw power, the AMD 5th Gen EPYC processors aim to reduce energy consumption, allowing data centers to use up to 71% less power and 87% fewer servers. This makes it easier for companies to optimize their operations without sacrificing performance.
These processors are expected to provide a significant boost to businesses running high-demand applications across various industries.
“The EPYC processors give data centers the flexibility to deliver higher performance while lowering costs,” McNamara said.
