AMD EPYC 7002 enteprise CPUs flex Zen 2 muscle as adoption expands at Google Cloud

Google today announced that its new N2D VMs are now available to the public, and that they run on 2nd generation AMD EPYC 7002 processors. Google is indicating that the new N2D VMs are perfect for general purpose workloads that "require a balance of compute and memory, like web applications and databases" from a cost and feature perspective. The search and cloud giant is also promising access to up to 222 virtual CPUs (128 vCPU configurations are also available). Compared to existing Google Compute Engine VMs, AMD is touting that up to 70 percent higher memory bandwidth is available with N2D VMs. AMD is also quoting a 39 percent performance uplift in Coremark compared to N1 instances, while providing customers with a 13 percent savings compared to "comparable N-Series instances." Unfortunately, neither AMD nor Google are giving details on what specific EPYC 7002 processors are deployed with the Google Cloud, we'd have to imagine that there are more than a few of the 64-core/128-thread SKUs thrown into the mix.
