2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ Continues Market Momentum with New Customers, New Performance Milestones and Now 100 World Records(1)
September 18 2019 - 9:00AM
At the European launch in Rome, Italy AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today
highlighted the growing adoption of 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors
across cloud, enterprise and HPC customers.
- Dell Technologies announced five new Dell EMC PowerEdge
platforms powered by the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor. These
platforms were designed from the groundup and optimized to support
the features of the new AMD EPYC processor including PCIe®
4.0.
- IBM Cloud detailed how 2nd Gen EPYC processors can support IBM
Cloud customer needs in specific areas including helping improve
cloud security, better memory bandwidth for big data and analytics
workloads and core scaling and breakthrough performance for
container workloads. IBM plans to have more to share in 2020 about
its performance offerings for clients.
- Nokia highlighted how 2nd Gen EPYC processors significantly
accelerate its Cloud Packet Core system which helps service
providers deliver converged broadband, IoT, and machine-type
communication services for 5G. In testing, Nokia found its Cloud
Packet Core system with 2nd Gen AMD EPYC provided a 2X increase in
packet throughput compared to previous systems2.
- ATOS, a global leader in digital transformation, announced
Genci is using the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors to expand the use of
supercomputing for the benefit of French scientific communities.
Genci and ATOS are using the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor due to its
breakthrough performance, efficiency and TCO.
- OVHcloud, a global cloud provider specializing in delivering
industry-leading performance and cost-effective solutions,
announced a new high-end hosting instance based on the AMD EPYC™
7402P processor. This instance will be available at the end of
2019.
- TSMC announced its adoption of 2nd Gen AMD EPYC helping power
its next generation research and leading process technology.
“Today, we are proud to have new platforms from Dell and new
customers adopting 2nd Gen AMD EPYC for cloud, enterprise computing
and HPC,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general
manager, Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business Group. “We
continue to take the AMD EPYC processor to new heights and are
thrilled to have the ecosystem supporting us across hardware,
software and cloud providers as we face the challenges of the
modern data center head-on.”
EPYC Performance for HPCAMD also announced a
new addition to the 2nd Generation AMD EPYC family, the AMD EPYC
7H12 processor. The 64 core/128 thread, 2.6Ghz base frequency,
3.3Ghz max boost frequency, 280W TDP processor is specifically
built for HPC customers and workloads, using liquid cooling to
deliver leadership supercomputing performance3. In an ATOS testing
on their BullSequana XH2000, the new AMD EPYC 7H12 processor
achieved a LINPACK score of ~ 4.2 TeraFLOPS, ~11% better than the
AMD EPYC 7742 processor4.

Cautionary StatementThis press release contains
forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
(AMD) including, but not limited to, the features, functionality,
performance, availability, timing, pricing, expectations and
expected benefits of the 2nd Gen AMD EPYCTM processors; the market
momentum and growing adoption of the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors;
and the expected timing and benefits of new partner offerings,
which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements are commonly identified by words such as "would,"
"intends," "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks,"
"plans," "pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the negative
of these words and phrases, other variations of these words and
phrases or comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the
forward-looking statements in this document are based on current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of
this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such
statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other
future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and
statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, without
limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the
microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may
limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply
agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obligations to
purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements,
and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, manufactured
at process nodes larger than 7 nanometer from GF with limited
exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing
requirements, AMD’s business could be adversely impacted; AMD
relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they
are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and
using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially
adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing
yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial
results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its
ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and
performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic and
market uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and
operating results; AMD’s products may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could have a material adverse effect on AMD;
IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks could
compromise AMD’s intellectual property or other sensitive
information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to
its business, reputation and operations; AMD’s operating results
are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD may not
be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations
or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of
indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position
and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its
contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and
the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD
that may adversely affect AMD’s ability to operate its business;
the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; AMD’s worldwide operations are subject to political,
legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a
material adverse effect on it; the conversion of the 2.125%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest
of AMD’s existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price
of its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and
shipment of AMD’s products could materially adversely affect it;
the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the market
conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations
in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of these
industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new products in a
timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property;
AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture
and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform
components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft
Corporation’s support for its products or other software vendors do
not design and develop software to run on AMD’s products, its
ability to sell its products could be materially adversely
affected; and AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and
add-in-board partners subjects it to certain risks. Investors
are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not
limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 29, 2019.
