AMD's 5th Gen EPYC CPUs power Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute E6 shapes

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

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — AMD announced that the 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors now power Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute E6 Standard shapes. These processors allow the E6 shapes to deliver up to a 2X increase in cost to performance compared to the previous E5 instance generation, according to OCI testing.

The new OCI Compute E6 shapes aim to build upon the successes of the E5 generation, promoting cost efficiency and performance for various workloads. This expansion includes over a thousand compute instances powered by AMD EPYC processors across cloud service providers.

“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,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Server Business, AMD. “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.”

“Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is committed to providing our customers with the best-performing, most cost-effective cloud offerings,” said Donald Lu, senior vice president, software development, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “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.”

Availability and Customer Adoption
OCI Compute E6 Standard bare metal instances and virtual machines are available in several regions today, including US East, US West, US Midwest, Germany Central, and UK South, with plans for additional regions in the future.
