AMD EPYC Architecture & Technical Overview
https://www.techpowerup.c...Epyc_Server_Architecture/AMD put nearly all their eggs in the Zen architecture bucket after having given up years of market share to Intel in the consumer, HEDT and even server industry market segments. To many this was a massive risk considering the ~40% IPC increase promised (and required to compete), but with the Ryzen desktop processors, AMD showed that they did achieve that and more. Ryzen CPUs introduced up to 8 cores, 16 threads to customers previously getting half that number from Intel, and carved out a place on the market thanks to its price/performance ratio, especially with applications that take advantage of parallel workload processing.
With their upcoming Threadripper series, AMD is making use of their new Infinity Fabric design to essentially put the equivalent of up to two 8-core CPUs into one massive package. Featuring up to 16 cores and 32 threads, thanks to their Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), AMD will challenge Intel in the HEDT platform for the prosumers and professionals alike. While that is upcoming still, today AMD took the wraps off their solution for the datacenter and server market.
The words "EPYC" and "32C/64T" were in high flow in the PC tech press media coverage since before Computex even, and with the launch today we get detailed information on the EPYC platform and all optimizations AMD has done
AMD's Future in Servers: New 7000-Series CPUs Launched and EPYC Analysis
http://www.anandtech.com/...aunched-and-epyc-analysisThe big news out of AMD was the launch of Zen, the new high-performance core that is designed to underpin the product roadmap for the next few generations of products. To much fanfare, AMD launched consumer level parts based on Zen, called Ryzen, earlier this year. There was a lot of discussion in the consumer space about these parts and the competitiveness, and despite the column inches dedicated to it, Ryzen wasn’t designed to be the big story this year. That was left to their server generation of products, which are designed to take a sizeable market share and reinvigorate AMD’s bottom line on the finance sheet. A few weeks ago AMD announced the naming of the new line of enterprise-class processors, called EPYC, and today marks the official launch with configurations up to 32 cores and 64 threads per processor. We also got an insight into several features of the design, including the AMD Infinity Fabric.
AMD Unveils EPYC Server Processor Models And Pricing Guidelines
http://www.tomshardware.c...models-pricing,34833.htmlAMD officially unveiled the breadth of its new EPYC server processor line, as well as rough pricing guidelines, at its Tech Day in Austin, Texas. AMD has enjoyed significant success with its new Zen architecture, which serves as the foundation of its Ryzen lineup of desktop host processors, and due to the modularity of the design, the company will employ the same building blocks in its forthcoming EPYC server lineup.
Intel has a commanding lead in the data center--some estimate its market share as high as 99.6% of the worlds' server sockets--so the industry is pining for a competitive x86 alternative. The high-margin data center market represents a tremendous growth opportunity for AMD as it returns to a competitive stance. The same disruptive pricing model we've seen on the desktop carries over to the server segment.
AMD EPYC 7000 Series Data Center Processor Launch - Gunning for Xeon
https://www.pcper.com/rev...essor-Launch-Gunning-XeonBecause we traditionally focus and feed on the excitement and build up surrounding consumer products, the AMD Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 launches were huge for us and our community. Finally seeing competition to Intel’s hold on the consumer market was welcome and necessary to move the industry forward, and we are already seeing the results of some of that with this week’s Core i9 release and pricing. AMD is, and deserves to be, proud of these accomplishments. But from a business standpoint, the impact of Ryzen on the bottom line will likely pale in comparison to how EPYC could fundamentally change the financial stability of AMD.
AMD EPYC is the server processor that takes aim at the Intel Xeon and its dominant status on the data center market. The enterprise field is a high margin, high profit area and while AMD once had significant share in this space with Opteron, that has essentially dropped to zero over the last 6+ years. AMD hopes to use the same tactic in the data center as they did on the consumer side to shock and awe the industry into taking notice; AMD is providing impressive new performance levels while undercutting the competition on pricing.
