AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced Google Cloud is expanding its use
of AMD EPYC™ processors with the preview of N2D Virtual Machines
(VMs) powered by AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series processors.
Utilizing the performance capabilities of the
latest generation of EPYC processors, the N2D VMs, according to
Google Cloud, delivers on average, over 30% better
price-performance across a variety of workloads compared to the
previous generation of AMD EPYC processor based N2D instances. “3rd
Gen AMD EPYC processors help cloud providers deliver a modern cloud
environment to end users. This includes leading performance
capabilities, fantastic price-per-performance and advanced security
features,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general
manager, Server Business, AMD. “We value our continued broad
collaboration with Google Cloud, which exemplifies a
high-performance, cost-effective cloud experience for workloads
that benefit from high throughput and impressive core counts.” “Our
customers’ needs are top of mind when creating Google Cloud
instances,” said Nirav Mehta, director of product management,
Google Cloud. “Now, through our collaboration with AMD and the
capabilities of the latest AMD EPYC processors in the Compute
Engine N2D family, customers can experience this next-generation
technology with significantly better performance and
price-performance for their general-purpose workloads.”
For customers running high-performance workloads that require a
balance of compute and high-memory bandwidth such as web serving,
databases, media transcoding, and image processing, the N2D VMs
powered by AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors provide:
- Up to 224 vCPUs for high-thread workloads and 8 GB of memory
per vCPU
- High storage performance with persistent disk support and up to
9 TB of local SSD
- Future planned capabilities to support Confidential Computing
using advanced security features within AMD EPYC processors
The new N2D VM family will continue to support a rich set of
features introduced in the N2D VMs using 2nd Gen EPYC processors,
including sole tenancy, custom machine types, Google Kubernetes
Engine (GKE) and in the future, confidential computing. N2D VMs
with 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors are currently in preview in
several Google Cloud regions: us-central (Iowa), us-east1 (S.
Carolina), europe-west4 (Netherlands), and asia-southeast1
(Singapore) and will be available in other Google Cloud regions
globally in the coming months.
