AMD’s partnership with Google Cloud introduces powerful new VMs, boosting AMD’s market position and stock performance.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) has taken a significant leap forward in the tech industry by announcing that its 5th Generation EPYC processors will power Google Cloud’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) newly launched C4D and H4D virtual machines (VMs).
These VMs are set to revolutionize cloud computing with enhanced performance, scalability, and efficiency, particularly for AI and high-performance computing workloads. The C4D instances, which are based on AMD’s “Zen 5” architecture, promise up to 80% higher throughput per vCPU compared to earlier versions, making them ideal for AI inference tasks.
Meanwhile, the H4D instances are tailored for high-performance computing, offering efficient scaling capabilities. The new VMs are currently in preview, with a global rollout anticipated later this year.
