Nokia Corp. said Thursday that its core networks business has
chosen 3rd generation AMD EPYC processors to power the servers that
deliver Nokia cloud-native software products, expanding the
server-chip choices available to communication service providers to
drive performance and energy efficiency improvements of 5G
networks.
The Finnish telecommunications-equipment supplier said the
announcement represents an extension of Nokia's broader efforts to
accelerate digitalization to help the industry reduce its
environmental footprint.
Nokia is targeting up to a 40% reduction in server power
consumption to run core workloads using AMD EPYC processors.
Nokia said communication service provider customers can purchase
the AMD EPYC powered servers through Nokia or direct from other
suppliers when they become commercially available during the first
half of 2022.
Existing servers using other chips that deliver Nokia core
software will continue to be available, it added.
Nokia has committed to decreasing its emissions by 50% by 2030
across its value chain, including its own operations, products in
use, logistics, and final assembly supplier factories.
