Summary:The 4th gen AMD EPYC server processor family brings the “Zen 4” core to the data center and cloud market and introduces a family of unique processors that leverage advanced chiplet architecture to efficiently optimize each processor to specific market needs. The “Zen 4” core is the latest generation of AMD’s high-performance and power-efficient x86 cores. Based on the “Zen 3” microarchitecture, it delivers a major step in power efficiency and performance with the inclusion of power-efficient AVX-512 support. The “Zen 4c” core further improves power efficiency by targeting a lower boost frequency. The 4th gen AMD EPYC processor family expands to include “Bergamo,” a high core-count, power-efficient, cloud-focused processor, and “Siena,” a high-capability processor with a streamlined, power-efficient form factor. These complement the record-breaking performance of “Genoa” and massive performance per core of “Genoa-X.” AMD’s customer-focused approach and chiplet design enable timely delivery of these industry-leading processors.
