Why AMD EPYC™ is the Right Choice for Data Centre Modernisation
Outstanding Energy Efficiency
AMD EPYC™ CPUs deliver exceptional performance per watt, helping organisations cut power consumption without compromising capability. Many businesses report energy savings of up to 50% when upgrading from legacy systems.
Lower Costs Through Consolidation
With industry-leading core density, DDR5 support, and up to 160 PCIe® 5.0 lanes, workloads can be consolidated onto fewer servers. The result: lower power, cooling, rack space, and maintenance costs.
Performance Across Every Workload
From cloud applications to high-performance computing, AMD EPYC™ delivers smoother, faster results. Its advanced architecture, larger caches, and memory bandwidth ensure consistent performance – even under the heaviest demands.
AI Readiness and Scalability
Built for the AI era, AMD EPYC™ processors integrate seamlessly with accelerators, scale efficiently, and minimise bottlenecks with PCIe® 5.0 and DDR5. From inference to training, they provide the foundation for today’s – and tomorrow’s – AI workloads.
Sustainability and ESG Impact
Modernisation is no longer just about cost savings – it’s about responsibility. AMD EPYC™ helps organisations align with sustainability targets:
- Reduced Emissions – Lower energy consumption means a smaller carbon footprint
- Regulatory Compliance – Supports adherence to stricter UK and EU energy standards
- Market Advantage – A greener data centre strengthens customer trust and reputation
Preparing for AI-Driven Workloads
AI is reshaping industries. AMD EPYC™ ensures your infrastructure is ready with:
- Seamless Accelerator Integration – Works with AMD Instinct™ GPUs and third-party accelerators
