EPYC Launch
At Computex 2017, AMD announced the worldwide launch date for EPYC™,
the new AMD family of high-performance processors for cloud-based and
traditional on-premise datacenters, previously codenamed Naples, which will
deliver the highly-successful “Zen” x86 processing engine scaling up to 32
physical cores. The first EPYC processor-based servers are scheduled to launch
on June 20th 2017,
with widespread support expected from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
and channel partners, ushering in a new era for high-performance server
processors and the datacenter. With its high core count, superior memory
bandwidth, and unparalleled support for high-speed input/output (I/O) channels
in a single chip, EPYC aims to revolutionize the dual-socket server market
while simultaneously reshaping expectations for single-socket servers.
