AMD EPYC processors power latest Google Cloud C2D instances
Today, AMD announced that Google Cloud has expanded its AMD EPYC processor-based offerings with the general availability of the new Google Cloud C2D instances powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors.
Google Cloud C2D marks the third family of instances powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC Processors, joining Google T2D and N2D instances.
Key highlights from today’s announcement include:
- According to Google Cloud, the C2D VMs can deliver up to 30% better performance for targeted workloads compared to previous generation EPYC-based VMs at a comparable size.
- By leveraging the high core density of AMD EPYC processors, C2D VMs will provide the largest VM sizes within the compute-optimized family at Google Cloud.
- The new C2D instances will bring customers strong performance for HPC memory-bound workloads like electronic design automation (EDA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
In addition, Google recently released new information showing impressive T2D VMs performance among customers using EPYC, including Ascend, (125%+ higher performance); Nylas, (40%+ higher price-performance); and OpenX, (40% better price-performance, 62% application latency reduction). Numerous leading cloud providers have expanded their AMD-powered offerings, with more than 130 new public instances launching in Q4 2021, and AMD EPYC is powering internal workloads and external instances at the 10 largest hyperscalers in the world.
