AMD EPYC™ Cloud Adoption Grows with Google Cloud
February 18 2020 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Google Cloud today announced the beta
availability of N2D VMs on Google Compute Engine powered by 2nd Gen
AMD EPYC™ processors. The N2D family of VMs is a great option for
customers running general purpose and high-performance workloads
requiring a balance of compute and memory.
N2D VMs are designed to provide customers with:
- High-performance 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors that provide
greater flexibility for customers to choose the best VM for their
workload and up to a 39% performance improvement on the Coremark
benchmark versus comparable N1 instances while offering a savings
of up to 13% over comparable N-series instances,
- 128 and 224 vCPUs configuration options that offer up to 70%
higher platform memory bandwidth compared to existing comparable
VMs in the Google Compute Engine catalogue for HPC workloads
requiring high memory bandwidth,
- Access to higher platform memory bandwidth and higher core
counts, leading to a 100% performance improvement on a variety of
benchmarks, including Gromacs and NAMD, compared to n1-standard-96
vCPUs.
“Cloud providers and hosters around the world recognize the
fantastic core scaling, massive memory bandwidth, impressive TCO
savings and record setting performance of the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC
processors,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general
manager, Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business, AMD. “AMD and
Google have worked together closely on these initial VMs to help
ensure Google Cloud customers have a high-performance and
cost-effective experience across a variety of workloads, and we
will continue to work together to provide that experience this year
and beyond.”
AMD EPYC Processors, Powering the Modern
CloudAMD EPYC processors power more than 120 VMs types
from cloud providers and hosters around the world giving end
customers access to powerful, cost effective and flexible use
