The 2nd Generation AMD EPYC Processor Redefines Data Center Economics
The last time AMD disrupted the data center was with the introduction of the 64-bit Opteron processor back in 2004. Then in July 2017 AMD launched its EPYC processor that began the next revolution in processor and data center design. The first generation EPYC processor offered more cores, more bandwidth, and more I/O than a competing Intel Xeon. This year, AMD is upping the ante once again with a second-generation EPYC processor, code-named “Rome.”
