AMD announces Zen 4 EPYC Embedded 9004 Series: Up to 96 cores with 1P and 2P solutions

Citiraj:

Derived from AMD's standard EPYC 9004 chips for servers, the AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 processors are aimed at embedded applications such as automation, telecommunications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and edge computing; use cases where high power efficiency is a strict technical requirement. Coming with options in both 1P and 2P configurations, AMD's EPYC Embedded 9004 series processors feature up to 96 cores (192 threads) per chip, with up to 384 MB of L3 Cache and duodenary (12) channel memory controllers, which are capable of supporting DDR5-4800 ECC memory in RDIMM, NVDIMM-N, and 3DS RDIMMs flavors. AMD's EYPC Embedded processors are deployed for various applications and industries. One of the most profound use cases includes the industrial automation industry, where large computing power is required and can subsequently process large amounts of data in real time. Other industries requiring high-powered and highly efficient embedded solutions include the medical imaging industry, edge computing, networking, and telecommunications. Two critical requirements for embedded solutions are power efficiency and performance per watt, which is why the latest EPYC embedded 9004 chips must be fit for purpose.

As previously noted, the EPYC Embedded lineup also brings with it official support for NVDIMMs. One of the main advantages of NVDIMM-N over other types of NVDIMMs is its fast access time. Since DRAM is the primary memory, NVDIMM-N provides high-speed access to data, which is crucial for applications that require fast data access, such as databases and real-time analytics. With the the non-volatile flash storage available as a backup mechanism, NVDIMM-N can ensure that data not lost even during a power failure or system crash. NVDIMM-N also has a lower latency than traditional non-volatile memory, which means that data can be accessed quicker, even at full load, for critical industries such as Cloud storage, Networking, and Telecomms, and even in sectors such as Automotive; all of these are key target segments for the AMD EPYC Embedded 9004 solutions. And, of course, AMD's first generation of CXL support is available as well. With full CXL 1.1 support, Embedded EPYC processors can access volatile and non-volatile CXL.mem devices, expanding the number and types of memory options available to the platform.

Intel hopes to stop server beating from AMD next year

Citiraj:

After getting bruised in servers by AMD, Intel hopes to stop the bleeding in the server market with next year’s chip offerings. The difference-making products will be Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids, which are due out in 2024, said Dave Zinsner, chief financial officer at Intel, last week at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference. intel’s current server offering is a Xeon chip codenamed Sapphire Rapids. The chipmaker later this year will ship its successor, codenamed Emerald Rapids, which provides incremental performance upgrades. Emerald Rapids will be more of a bridge to the difference-making chips released in 2024, but it will not stop the market-share loss the company is taking from AMD. AMD has made the most of Intel’s delays and mismanagement of its server product roadmap, with chips like Sapphire Rapids being delayed multiple times. AMD’s next big chip release is Bergamot, which is coming out in the first half of this year. The chip is based on the same instruction set as Genoa, but with more cores and lesser frequency. It is targeted at dense servers.“It’s optimized for cloud native, so instead of a 96-core cluster, it’s 128 cores. It does not run at the same peak frequency of Genoa.”
