The 2nd generation EPYC is a server CPU that adopts Zen 2 core technology of 7 nm process, has performance that can compete with Intel CPUs, experts said, `` 2nd generation EPYC is big with the support of third parties It will definitely be a leap forward, and will greatly expand AMD's market share. '

Experts praise the release of AMD's server processor `` EPYC Rome '' as `` historical thing ''-gigazine

Also, in August 2019, Google's VP acknowledged that Google's data center adopted 2nd generation EPYC, and said that 'GCP will also be able to use 2nd generation EPYC'.

Google's VP Engineering Bart Sano says it is the first to deploy Rome on its production datacenter.Why? 'High core count, high perf shared memory, pcie4 for our accelerators.' Available in GCP later with the 'largest VMs ever and for HPC. '

The N2D instance provides the same function as the N2 instance, and has 224 vCPUs, which is the highest for general use in the industry. Benchmark tests performed 39% better than N1 instances. Also, in the HPC (High Performance Computing) area, it is an attractive instance that has 70% higher memory bandwidth than the N1 instance, and boasts more than twice the performance of the N1 instance in simulation packages such as GROMACS and NAMD . thing.

N2D instances are currently in beta, and there are three regions available at the time of article creation: us-central1, asia-southeast1, and europe-west4. Available regions will be expanded in the future.
