March 15 , 2021 AMD AMD EPYCTM 7003 Series CPUs Set New Standard as Highest Performance Server Processor - New AMD EPYC processor extends per socket performance leadership and best per core performance¹ ** with new " Zen 3 " cores and modern security features -Partners including AWS , Cisco , Dell Technologies , Google Cloud , HPE , Lenovo , Microsoft Azure , Oracle Cloud Infrastructure , Supermicro , Tencent Cloud and others grow EPYC processor ecosystem to an expected 400 cloud instances and 100 new OEM platforms by end of 2021 SANTA CLARA , Calif . , March 15 , 2021 ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) -- At a digital event , AMD ( NASDAQ : AMD ) announced the new AMD EPYC ™ 7003 Series CPUs , which includes the AMD EPYC 7763 , the world's highest - performing server processor² * . The new EPYC 7003 series processors help HPC , cloud and enterprise customers do more , faster , by delivering the best performance of any server CPU with up to 19 % more instructions per clock³ . " With the launch of our 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors , we are incredibly excited to deliver the fastest server CPU in the world . These processors extend our data center leadership and help customers solve today's most complex IT challenges , while substantially growing our ecosystem , " said Forrest Norrod , senior vice president and general manager , Data Center and Embedded Solutions Business Group . " We not only double the performance over the competition in HPC , cloud and enterprise workloads with our newest server CPUs , but together with the AMD Instinct GPUs , we are breaking the exascale barrier in supercomputing and helping to tackle problems that have previously been beyond humanity's reach . " AMD EPYC Processors , Powering the Modern Data Center Available immediately , AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors have up to 64 " Zen 3 " cores per processor and introduce new levels of per - core cache memory , while continuing to offer the PCIe® 4 connectivity and class - leading memory bandwidth 4 that defined the EPYC 7002 series CPUs . 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors also include modern security features through AMD Infinity Guard , supporting a new feature called Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Secure Nested Paging ( SEV - SNP ) . SEV - SNP expands the existing SEV features on EPYC processors , adding strong memory integrity protection capabilities to help prevent malicious hypervisor - based attacks by creating an isolated execution environment .
