Meet Growing Demands with Better Cloud Computing

Organizations demand scalability, flexibility, and performance to support the growing complexity of compute workloads – from popular enterprise applications to transaction processing and AI. While migrating to the cloud has provided IT leaders with flexibility and simplicity in how they manage their resources, it has also caused rapid increase in cloud computing OPEX  for many. Finding a way to maximize resources without expanding OPEX is the key to success, and choosing AMD-based VMs is a way to reach that goal.

  1. EPYC-029A: Comparison based on density, performance, features, process technology and built-in security features as of 4/3/2022. 4th Gen EPYC CPUs offer the highest x86 density, leads the industry with 300+ performance world records, has 50% more DDR5 memory channels, supports 60% more PCIe® Gen5 lanes for I/O throughput, has up to 3.4x the L3 cache for faster data access, uses advanced 5nm technology, and offers Secure Memory Encryption + Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) + SEV Encrypted State + SEV-Secure Nested Paging security features. See https://www.amd.com/en/campaigns/epyc-9004-architecture for more information.
  2. SP5C-003:  AWS M7a.4xlarge max score and Cloud OpEx savings comparison to M6i.4xlarge running six common application workloads using on-demand pricing US-East (Ohio) Linux® as of 10/9/2023. FFmpeg: ~2.5x the raw_vp9 performance (40.2% of M6i runtime) saving ~52% in Cloud OpEx.  NGINX™: ~1.9x the WRK performance (52.9% of M6i runtime) saving ~36% in Cloud OpEx. Server-side Java® multi-instance max Java OPS: ~1.6x the ops/sec performance (63.3% of M6i runtime) saving ~24% in Cloud OpEx. MySQL™: ~1.7x the TPROC-C performance (57.5% of M6i runtime) saving ~31% in Cloud OpEx- SQL Server: ~1.7x the TPROC-H performance (58.1% of M6i runtime) saving ~30% in Cloud OpEx. Redis™: ~2.4x the SET rps performance (42.4% of M6i runtime) saving ~49% in Cloud OpEx. Cloud performance results presented are based on the test date in the configuration. Results may vary due to changes to the underlying configuration, and other conditions such as the placement of the VM and its resources, optimizations by the cloud service provider, accessed cloud regions, co-tenants, and the types of other workloads exercised at the same time on the system.
  3. AMD Infinity Guard security features on EPYC™ processors must be enabled by server OEMs and/or Cloud Service Providers to operate. Check with your OEM or provider to confirm support of these features. Learn more about Infinity Guard at https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/infinity-guard. GD-177
