AMD has announced that it has expanded its EPYC processor-based offerings with the availability of the new Amazon EC2 Hpc6a instances, which are purpose built for high performance computing (HPC) workloads in the clouds. “We’re excited to continue our collaboration with AMD and add another crucial AMD EPYC instance to the Amazon EC2 portfolio.” The instances powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors are available today in the US, with availability in other regions coming soon. Been using the Phenom x4 9950 CPU sent to me by AMD for over a month now and I have been doing some simple benchmarks with it. The Phenom X4 9950 is the latest and fastest among AMD's quad core series. You will notice the ones from AMD and Intel are already capable of supporting DDR3 RAMs. On the other hand, the newer ones by AMD offers single-core and dual-core CPUs with higher cache memory. Notice thought that TDP of the AMD chips are still way higher at 12watts; that's almost twice that of the ones from Intel so they should be some noticeable battery life differences between the two. Yesterday, while scouting around for that elusive Phenom II X4, I chanced upon this new processor SKU from AMD -- the Athlon 64 X2 7750 BE @ 2.7GHz.
