AMD expands EPYC server chip lineup for AI infrastructure

AMD said it has expanded its EPYC lineup with new server and embedded processors and a Google Cloud deployment, as it targets enterprise computing and AI infrastructure.

The US chipmaker said its 6th Gen EPYC server chips deliver up to 2.2x the performance of rival processors.

AMD also said the chips provide about 3.3x the agents-per-watt for agentic AI.

Server vendors are shipping the central processing units, while Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are bringing them to customers, AMD said.

AMD said its new EPYC Embedded 9006 Series supports up to 256 cores for applications including semiconductor test equipment, network security, and enterprise storage.

The company added that its 5th Gen EPYC processors power Google Cloud’s TPU 8tx host infrastructure.

The efficiency pitch comes as power availability has become a constraint on AI data-center growth, while grid capacity is increasingly seen as a bottleneck for new facilities.
