— 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 now power Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute E6 Standard shapes. The latest processors are designed to deliver up to a 2X increase in cost performance compared to the previous E5 instance generation based on internal testing.

The OCI Compute E6 shapes build upon the success of the E5 generation, providing enhanced performance and cost efficiency for both general-purpose and compute-intensive workloads. These offerings are part of a wide array of compute instances powered by AMD EPYC processors across various cloud service providers.

Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager of 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.”

Availability and Customer Adoption
OCI Compute E6 Standard bare metal instances and virtual machines are currently available in multiple regions, including US East, US West, US Midwest, Germany Central, and UK South, with future expansions planned.
