─ Up to 20 percent lower total cost of ownership
for VSAN1 and 25 percent more HPC performance2 for modern
datacenter workloads now available worldwide ─
AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced that its EPYC™ 7000 series
processors are powering three of the newest Dell EMC (NYSE:DVMT)
PowerEdge platforms. PowerEdge R6415, R7415, and R7425 are highly
scalable, single- and dual-socket servers designed to address
high-performance workloads, including virtualized storage area
networks (VSAN), hybrid-cloud applications, dense virtualization,
and big data analytics. The no-compromise, single-socket
capabilities of AMD EPYC help the new Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms
deliver up to 20 percent lower total cost of ownership in a
single-socket, four-node VSAN-ready configuration.
The new Dell EMC PowerEdge servers take full advantage of the
AMD EPYC 7000-series’ ability to deliver both single- and
dual-socket servers with design features ranging from 32 to 64
cores, up to 4TB of memory capacity, and 12 to 24x direct NVMe
drives optimized for database and analytics workloads. EPYC also
supports high bandwidth and dense GPU/FPGA capabilities in these

while offering real Total Cost of Ownership advantages. The
Dell EMC portfolio of AMD EPYC systems excel in a wide range of
workloads, including dense virtualization, hybrid-cloud
applications, software-defined storage, CAD/CAM, and other memory
and I/O dependent applications.”
In addition to enabling an incredibly feature-rich dual socket
platform with the PowerEdge R7425, EPYC provides unique and
competitive options in a single-socket package, expanding the reach
of single-socket servers into new segments. The single-socket
configurations in the PowerEdge R6415 and R7415 offer a 32-core
count optimized for high performance and multithreaded architecture
workloads. In addition, the impressively low total cost of
ownership offered on all three platforms provides outstanding
high-speed I/O performance on up to 128 lanes of PCIe and a memory
bandwidth up to 342 GB/s.
“With AMD’s EPYC processor integrated into the new Dell EMC
PowerEdge platforms, we can deliver the scalability and lower total
cost of ownership needed to meet the demands of new emerging
workloads,” said Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president, product
management and marketing, Server and Infrastructure Systems at Dell
EMC. “Customers are constantly looking for ways to drive
growth and leverage new models of computing. AMD’s single-socket
platform is a great example of Dell PowerEdge servers moving the
industry forward to solve real customer problems. Together, we’re
enabling customers to advance their datacenter transformation by
adding capacity for higher IO and memory-intensive applications for
highly configurable, single- and dual-socket designs.”

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,"
"intends," "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 GF with obligations to purchase all of
its microprocessor and APU product requirements, and a certain
portion of its GPU product requirements, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.
(GF) with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s
manufacturing requirements, its 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
uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating
results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; 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 its ability to operate its business; the products
that AMD sells are complex and may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could result in, among other things, the loss,
corruption or misuse of confidential data by unauthorized third
parties or system performance issues. AMD's efforts to prevent and
address security vulnerabilities can be costly and may be partially
effective or not successful at all; AMD's issuance to West Coast
Hitech L.P. (WCH) of warrants to purchase 75 million shares of its
common stock, if and when exercised, will dilute the ownership
interests of its existing stockholders, and the conversion of the
2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership
interest of its 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 AIB
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 September 30,
2017.
