“ With the launch of our 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors , we are incredibly excited to deliver the fastest server CPU in the world . These processors extend our data centre leadership and help customers solve today ’ s most complex IT challenges , while substantially growing our ecosystem ,” said Forrest Norrod , Senior Vice President and General Manager , Data Centre and Embedded Solutions Business Group .

Available immediately , AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors have up to 64 ‘ Zen 3 ’ cores per processor and introduce new levels of per-core cache memory , while continuing to offer the PCIe 4 connectivity

and class-leading memory bandwidth that defined the EPYC 7002 series CPUs . 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors also include modern security features through AMD Infinity Guard , supporting a new feature called Secure Encrypted Virtualisation- Secure Nested Paging ( SEV-SNP ). SEV- SNP expands the existing SEV features on EPYC processors , adding strong memory integrity protection capabilities to help prevent malicious hypervisorbased attacks by creating an isolated execution environment .

All these features and capabilities combine to help drive faster time to results and improve business outcomes for HPC , cloud and enterprise customers .

• For HPC customers that demand the most throughput computing capabilities to do more simulations in a given time period , or use bigger data sets or more complex models , AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors enable faster time to discovery with more I / O and memory throughput , and powerful ‘ Zen 3 ’

cores that deliver up to twice the performance for HPC workloads compared to the competition .

• For cloud providers who need compute density and security capabilities , AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors offer the highest core density , advanced security features and up to twice the integer performance compared to the competition .

• For the enterprise , where performance and time to value are critical to support the new ‘ work from anywhere ’ environment , AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors help improve efficiency , and deliver value and performance . The new processors increase transactional database processing by up to 19 %, improve Hadoop Big Data analytic sorts by up to 60 % with 61 % better price to performance than the competition , and offer superior performance for flexible Hyperconverged Infrastructure – all of which help CIOs turn data into actionable insights faster . ◊
