After Microsoft Now Biadu Joins The List Of AMD Zen Based AI/ Cloud CPU Customers | AMD EPYC chips were announced in June and now after sc17 it is spreading so much and getting a lot of attention and new customers. AMD and Baidu recently announced that China’s huge internet provider would offer AI, datacenter and cloud computing based on EPYC single socket chips and solutions. This deal is showing the continues success of the AMD’s new CPUs. Microsoft Azure first offered EPYC-based instances after showing interest in sc17. The EPYC line’s high memory bandwidth and IO capacity makes it well suited for many new and existing costumer while the need and size of the AI market is increasing every day. AMD is targeting price-performance points hopes Intel products will find it difficult to match and compete, tha is a good way for AMD to reclaim lots of the x86 data center market after a long absence. The single socket is an essential part of the strategy as was made clear by Aylor at the June launch.

“You have probably seen in the industry a fair number of single socket platforms from us but they have tended to be more on the storage optimized or GPU optimized,” said Scott Aylor, AMD corporate vice president and general manager of Enterprise Solutions. For example, HPE introduced a storage optimized server, CL3150, using a single socket EPYC design. “Given the variety of services that Baidu deploys, including storage but also others, I want people to know this is really a compute oriented platform,” said Aylor.

“We can build a no compromise one-socket offering that will allow us to cover up to 50 percent of the two-socket market that is today held by the [Intel Broadwell] E5-2650 and below. said Aylor.

“In our one socket offering we have come up with a clever way to maintain all of the I/O capabilities that you would get in a two socket as well as the full complement of eight memory channels. Today people buy two socket, sometimes because they need to, but more often than not because they have to. There are many examples in which I/O rich [workloads] like storage, like GPU compute, and some vertical workloads where people don’t necessarily need two sockets from a CPU performance perspective,” said Aylor.

AMD tends to enable Baidu to achieve a level of scale and efficiency unrivaled in high-performance x86 by EPYC made single socket solutions. “The combination of performance from the EPYC processor cores, and compute and I/O density packaged in a single-socket configuration, provides the ideal platform for Baidu’s next generation cloud services,” according to AMD.

“By offering outstanding performance in single-processor systems, the AMD EPYC platform provides flexibility and high-performance in our datacenter, which allows Baidu to deliver more efficient services to our customers,” said Liu Chao, senior director, Baidu System Technologies Department in the official release.
