AMD Releases Siena EPYC processors, Completes 4th Gen AMD EPYC family

Today AMD announced the availability of AMD EPYC 8004 series processors, formerly codenamed “Siena,” marking the completion of the 4^th Gen EPYC family. The new processors bring the “Zen 4c” core into a purpose-built CPU, enabling solution providers to create energy efficient and differentiated platforms that can power applications from the intelligent edge, such as retail, manufacturing and telco, all the way to the data center for cloud services, storage and others. 

• The announcement of the AMD EPYC 8004 series processors built to power compute from the intelligent edge to the traditional data center. 

• • Excellent Energy Efficiency for the Intelligent Edge. Utilizing the efficient “Zen 4c” core and new SP6 socket, the EPYC 8004 series processor can provide up to 2x better performance per system watt advantage compared to the competition’s top networking model. 
  • Balanced Performance. In an industry that demands the ultimate performance per watt capabilities for space and infrastructure constrained environments, the AMD EPYC 8004 series processors deliver the balanced performance and excellent energy efficiency needed at the edge.  In a video encoding workload, the EPYC 8534P provides up to 2.4x the aggregate frames/hour/system watt against the competition’s comparable networking product 
  • Optimizing Savings for Intelligent Edge Deployments. Intelligent edge deployments focus on smaller nodes of servers, rather than full racks as expected within a data center and can help customers save thousands of dollars in energy costs with better core density and more throughput.   

• Several OEMs and partners unveiled a number of unique systems and solutions that take full advantage of the AMD EPYC 8004 series processor capabilities. 

• • Dell Technologies released the Dell PowerEdge C6615 server which optimizes high performance with low TCO for scale out workloads. 
  • Lenovo announced its newest flagship edge-optimized server, the new Lenovo ThinkEdge SE455 V3, which delivers the most energy efficient server available for enabling next generation AI applications at the edge. 
  • Supermicro introduced new edge platforms using AMD EPYC 8004 series processors optimized to deliver strong performance and energy efficiency for edge and telco data centers.
