AMD and Google Cloud have launched the C4D and H4D virtual machines (VMs) powered by AMD’s 5th Gen EPYC processors.
Designed for a wide range of cloud workloads, including data analytics, web hosting, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC), the VMs deliver exceptional performance, scalability and energy efficiency.
The C4D instances, optimised for general-purpose workloads and AI inference, leverage AMD’s advanced Zen 5 architecture to achieve up to 80 percent higher throughput per virtual CPU compared to previous generations.
Tailored for HPC workloads, the H4D instances feature AMD EPYC CPUs with Cloud RDMA technology that allows efficient scaling across tens of thousands of cores.
“Our deep technology partnership with Google Cloud enabled them to rapidly adopt the latest AMD EPYC processors to deliver consistent high performance and cost-efficient instances for their most demanding customers,” said said Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Server Business at AMD.
“With the introduction of C4D and H4D instances powered by AMD EPYC processors, businesses can benefit from cutting-edge performance and efficiency, tailored to their cloud-native and enterprise applications,” said Mark Lohmeyer, Vice President and General Manager of Compute and Machine Learning Infrastructure at Google Cloud.
Currently available in preview, the C4D and H4D instances are expected to roll out globally later this year.
