What's Next?
With more than 400 world records, you might be wondering how AMD can improve upon AMD EPYC™ processors.*1 How do you go forward from some of the most powerful server processors ever created?1 You do it with 'Zen 5' architecture and all the benefits it delivers to customers.
Introducing 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ Processors
Designed for the world of AI and critical business workloads, 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors deliver the next generation of server CPUs in a family that has already set hundreds of world records for performance and efficiency.*1 Building on that rich history, AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series processors enable breakthrough performance, thanks to their 'Zen 5' architecture.
Offering up to 192 cores, 384 threads, and 5GHz Max Boost frequencies, customers can expect these new processors to support virtually any business need they can imagine.*2 Not only do they offer more cores than previous generation EPYC products and even higher frequencies, but support for faster DRAM as well, providing enhanced capability for memory-sensitive workloads.
Readily accessible and easily deployable, servers making use of 5th Generation AMD EPYC processors offer leadership performance, density, and efficiency, supporting deployments in everything from corporate AI-enablement initiatives and business-critical applications to providing the capability to power large-scale cloud-based infrastructures.
It's a lineup unified by the familiar x86 software compatibility, letting customers deploy what they need, where they need it, with a common ISA that supports day-to-day business without the requirement for major x86 software modifications.
Systems based on the AMD EPYC 9005 processor will support various initiatives ranging from data center consolidation and modernization to increasingly demanding enterprise application needs. That's all thanks to the highly efficient 'Zen 5' architecture, a compelling platform purpose-built to not only accommodate expanding AI needs within the enterprise space, but also to support businesses in their goal to improve energy efficiency and to rein in data center sprawl.
It's a server CPU that holds nothing back – in performance, efficiency or outcome.
Performance: Painting a Clear Picture for Customers
As AI plays an increasingly important role in business, customers need to know they can rely on their server infrastructure to get it done – in addition to their existing workloads.
New AMD EPYC processors, like the AMD EPYC™ 9575F processor, deliver double-digit gains in instruction-per-clock-cycle (IPC) performance compared to the prior generation, and the latest 'Zen 5' core in 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors is designed to deliver significant uplifts in ML, HPC, and enterprise workloads.*3
When compared to competitor products, these new processors help enterprises achieve incredible results, such as groundbreaking end-to-end AI throughput performance on a wide variety of use cases. For example, on the TPCx-AI benchmark, 2P servers with 192C AMD EPYC™ 9965 processors deliver up to ~3.8x more AI test cases per minute vs. 2P servers with 64C Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ in AMD testing.*4
When hosting GPU accelerators, two AMD EPYC 9575F CPUs achieve up to 20% more inference requests and 15% faster training time compared to two Intel® Xeon® 8592+ CPUs running Llama3.1.*5,6
While performance shines, that doesn't mean efficiency is off the table; AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors offer energy-efficient server solutions. In fact, 2P servers using AMD EPYC 9965 CPUs deliver 1.8x more estimated integer performance per CPU watt than those with Intel® Xeon® 8592+ CPUs.*7
A new generation of cutting-edge AMD EPYC processors is here to transform the way work gets done. In the age of AI, you can't afford to fall behind.
