an ideal combination of features to
help unlock performance and redefine
economics in virtualisation, cloud, HPC
and enterprise applications.
For the enterprise data centre, 2nd Gen
AMD EPYC processors offer up to 83%
better Java application performance, up
to 43% better SAP SD 2 Tier performance
than the competition and provide world
record performance on Real Time
Analytics with Hadoop.
For modern cloud and virtualisation
workloads, 2nd Gen AMD EPYC
processors deliver world record
virtualisation performance that redefines
data centre economics.
AMD design innovation brings breakthrough
architecture for the data centre
The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor
combines leadership performance,
architecture and security features to meet
the most demanding challenges facing the
data centre.

• • Leadership performance: Featuring up
to 64 “Zen 2” cores per SOC, 2nd Gen
EPYC processors deliver up to 23%
more instructions per clock (IPC) per
core on server workloads and up to
4X more L3 Cache compared to the
previous generation.
• • Leadership architecture: The
next-generation AMD Infinity
Architecture pushes the boundaries
for x86 performance and compute
capabilities, giving customers
access to the most I/O and memory
bandwidth in its class, including PCIe
Generation 4, to unleash the very
latest in server performance.
• • Leadership security features: Delivering
‘hardened at the core’ features based on
a silicon embedded security subsystem
and advanced security features like
Secure Memory Encryption and Secure
Encrypted Virtualization that help
customers guard their most important
assets and data.
A growing partner ecosystem
The AMD EPYC ecosystem continues
to grow with more than 60 partners
supporting the launch on day one.
The broad partner ecosystem including
ODMs like Gigabyte and QCT, IHVs like
Broadcom, Micron and Xilinx, and broad
operating system support including
Microsoft and multiple Linux distributions.
For Linux Canonical, RedHat and SUSE
collaborated with AMD to test and
validate solutions based on the 2nd Gen
AMD EPYC processors for a wide range
of data centre use cases. This validation
helped the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor
achieve more than 2X platforms in
development compared to the 1st Gen
EPYC processors. ◊

For HPC, 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors
offer an unmatched combination of
record-setting floating point performance
and the most DRAM memory and I/O
bandwidth in its class to supercharge
HPC workloads, including up to 2x
better performance in computational
fluid dynamics and up to 72% higher
performance structural analysis.
