AMD updated its fourth-generation EPYC processor family at the San Francisco press conference yesterday, and launched a new product code-named Bergamo, with up to 128 cores and 256 threads. It can meet “high-performance cloud requirements” and “add bricks and tiles” to cloud computing.

It is noticed that the existing fourth-generation EPYC product code-named Genoa uses a 5nm process, supports PCIe 5.0 and CXL expansion technology, and supports DDR5.
The latest Bergamo processor focuses more on “commercial-level cloud computing”, so while inheriting the above parameters, it is equipped with 82 billion transistors, and can support up to 128 Zen 4c cores, is compatible with x86 ISA instructions, and can Relatively meet the application requirements of deep cloud computing.

AMD President and CEO Lisa Su said that this Bergamo processor, which focuses on “cloud computing”, can provide AMD’s largest vCPU computing density at present, and can provide “the best energy efficiency”, “compared to AMD’s previous EPYC processors, Bergamo processors can increase energy efficiency by up to 2.7 times and provide three times the number of containers.”
Lisa Su also said that AMD is focusing on promoting product deployment in the commercial market, mainly including providing EPYC processors at the server level. AMD Instinct and AMD ALVEO are provided for AI computing, AMD ALVEO and AMD VERSAL are provided for FPGA and Adaptive SoC, and AMD ALVEO and Pensando are provided for SmartNIC and DPU. The current Bergamo processor is “AMD’s latest answer to the server market.”
