- Leading I/O and Memory Bandwidth
Hardened at the Core
- Micro-Architecture Enhancements
- Advanced Security Features
Efficiency
AMD's design splits the CPU and cache from the PCIe controllers and memory controllers connecting them with AMD Infinity Fabric instead. The CPU and cache are created with the 7nm process node. Memory and PCIe functions are similar to previous generations and don't benefit as much scaling down to 7nm nodes. This strategic split gives the benefit gives a balance of using the leading edge semiconductor 7nm process technology for the CPU die and very cost effective 14nm process nodes for the memory and PCIe controllers.
Throughput
AMD EPYC servers with 7002 series processors support PCIe 4.0 with up to 128 lanes. PCIe 4.0 doubles the speeds of PCIe 3.0 and with 128 lanes, it means the server can have rich features: higher speeds with GPU accelerators, more NVMe Drives, and double the network bandwidth.
Performance
Virtually everything runs better on AMD EPYC 7002 Series powered servers. Whether you run enterprise applications, virtualized and cloud computing environments, software-defined infrastructure, high-performance computing, or data analytic applications.
Security
The new architecture is built with security features at the core. The EPYC architecture encrypts main memory, virtual machine memory, and cryptographically help secure the boot process to protect against side channel vulnerabilities. The processor also isolates memory within the CPU so that the active thread can access memory only assigned to that thread safeguarding between virtual machines.
