Blazing-fast AMD EPYC™ 9005 Processors power HPE ProLiant Gen11 and HPE Cray servers

[ComputeExperts]

The longtime, successful partnership between AMD and HPE continues with the 5^th Generation AMD EPYC^TM Processor for the HPE ProLiant Gen11 family and HPE Cray systems. Built for the most demanding workloads, tighter footprints, and power efficiency, this winning combination delivers groundbreaking compute innovation at the edge, core, and cloud.

With out-of-the-box performance, plus higher density and energy efficiency, the AMD® EYPC® Family of Processors – designed for business-critical to AI-enabled applications in your hybrid world – ushers in the next generation of powerful and efficient CPUs, achieving 300 world records using industry-standard consortium benchmarks and ISV workloads[i].

Thanks to efficient "Zen5” processor core architecture and advanced microprocessor process technologies, these CPU powerhouses offer a wide range of core counts, from 8 cores to 160 cores for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers (320 cores for dual-processor servers), and 192 cores per CPU for HPE Cray servers.

Primed for traditional, mixed, and emerging AI workloads

With growing AI-enabled workloads, the pressure on IT to manage budgets, footprint, and power availability, greatly increases. The HPE ProLiant Gen11 server family with AMD EPYC 9005 Series Processors provides a powerful foundation for diverse AI-driven applications, from chatbots to large language models and generative AI workloads, without the need for GPU acceleration. Even for the most demanding AI applications, like fraud detection or video analytics, the AMD EPYC 9005 Series Processors on the ProLiant Gen11 server optimize the host CPUs for GPU-enabled systems with blazing performance, energy efficiency, enhanced memory, and IO scalability—all in support of operational and budget challenges.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers powered by AMD EPYC 9005 series processors also make the most of edge computing, driving faster insights and unlocking more data value when you need it most. Purpose-built, to leverage data from anywhere, real-time, the HPE compute platforms with AMD EPYC 9005 are well-positioned to modernize and accelerate results at all stages of your edge computing journey.

Tame data center sprawl and energy consumption

Data center footprint is at a premium as workloads grow, and energy requirements rise exponentially to support it. Enterprises are increasingly compelled to adopt a more energy-efficient IT enterprise that supports both business and budget objectives. The EYPC 9005 processor on the HPE ProLiant Gen11 server meets those demands, minimizing data center space while maximizing energy efficiency.

Move seamlessly to the secure, next-generation AMD EPYC 9005 series

The AMD EPYC and HPE path to modernizing hybrid compute focuses on better performance, value, scalability, and security, and always with a focus on seamless deployment. HPE servers powered by AMD are designed to be quickly implemented to speed transformation and innovation, while offering compatibility with existing x86 server infrastructures.

You will discover that adopting the EPYC 9005 series for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers minimizes cost, decreases software rework, and maximizes ROI while shortening time-to-market. Upgrading is as easy as a simple drop-in CPU to an existing Gen11 server with a firmware BIOS upgrade, or ordering the EPYC 9005 series processor separately with any new HPE ProLiant Gen11 server.

As sophisticated cyberattacks continue to emerge, this processor adoption is critical for providing secure computing for IT infrastructures, workloads, and data. AMD and HPE prioritize security with layers of protection at every level to provide optimized physical and virtual defenses, from HPE’s Trusted Security By Design for edge-to-cloud architecture, to ProLiant Gen11 server’s HPE Silicon Root of Trust, to AMD EPYC chip security features like AMD Infinity Guard, as well as other safeguards.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers with AMD® EYPC® processors give you the power to scale flexibly  

The challenge for enterprises to grow and innovate with tight budgets and IT constraints is only going to increase. HPE and AMD partner together on the HPE ProLiant Gen11 to balance those precise IT requirements – from small businesses to enterprises – with optimized, scalable, and energy efficiency built-in. With core counts ranging from 8 cores up to 160 cores, there’s the right future-proof fit for your data center.
