Our goal with the AMD EPYC processor family is to give customers the performance they need for their workloads in terms of cores and speed. We are expanding the EPYC family to provide customers with more choices for their workloads.
We were the first to bring a 64-core x86 server processor to market when we launched the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors. Today, we expanded the 2nd Gen EPYC family with our fifth 64-core processor: the
AMD EPYC 7662.
This processor is a great entry point into
the 64-core market, providing customers with the same high-performance “Zen 2” core as our fastest x86 processor, the AMD EPYC 7H12, but at a lower cost than other mainstream 64-core AMD EPYC processors.
Another new addition,
the
AMD EPYC 7532
processor, provides customers with a high-performance 32 cores and a total of 256MB of L3 cache, the same amount of cache as the second-generation EPYC 64-core processor, making the AMD EPYC 7532 ideal for cache-sensitive workloads such as ANSYS CFX, allowing each core to access up to 8MB of L3 cache. In all ANSYS CFX benchmarks, the average performance of the AMD EPYC 7532 was excellent.
Both processors have all the features of the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor family, including 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes, support for up to 3200MHz memory and advanced security features.
The first partners to support these two new processors include Dell Technologies and Supermicro. The two processors are now available in Dell EMC PowerEdge R6515, R7515, R6525, R7525 and C6525 servers, and are also available in all Supermicro A+ servers. At the same time, Supermicro "Big Twin" servers will support AMD EPYC (Xiaolong) 7532. HPE and Lenovo are expected to support these two new AMD EPYC (Xiaolong) processors in the coming months.
