AMD powers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute E6 shapes with 5th Gen EPYC processors

— Leading cloud services providers expand their adoption of EPYC CPUs to meet growing public cloud demand —

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — AMD announced that its 5th Gen EPYC processors are powering the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute E6 Standard shapes, delivering a performance increase and enhanced cost efficiency. The new generation is designed to support enterprise workloads, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cloud applications, with testing showing up to a 2X increase in cost-to-performance ratio compared to previous E5 instances.

The OCI Compute E6 shapes aim to build upon the success of the E5 generation, providing effective options for various workloads. Their availability contributes to a comprehensive lineup of over 1,000 compute instances utilizing AMD EPYC processors across major cloud service providers.

Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Server Business at AMD, stated, “The rapid adoption of AMD EPYC processors in the cloud underscores our ability to deliver innovative, high-performance solutions that enable our partners to create highly competitive cloud offerings. The combination of OCI’s flexible infrastructure and the performance of 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors helps customers accelerate their most demanding workloads while optimizing their cloud infrastructure.”

Donald Lu, senior vice president of software development at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, remarked, “Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is committed to providing our customers with the best-performing, most cost-effective cloud offerings. With the new OCI Compute E6 Standard shapes powered by AMD EPYC processors, we are delivering an unparalleled combination of compute power, scalability, and efficiency that meets the demands of today’s most complex workloads.”

The OCI Compute E6 Standard bare metal instances and virtual machines are available in multiple regions, including the U.S. East, U.S. West, U.S. Midwest, Germany Central, and the U.K. South. Plans for availability in additional regions are underway.
