AMD Launches New Low-Power 64-Core Epyc CPU for Telco and Edge Datacenters

AMD's new 64-core Epyc CPU optimized for power efficiency and thermal performance for telco and edge datacenters.
Uses shrunken Zen 4c cores with up to 16 cores per chiplet for reduced footprint and power draw.
Available in 8 to 64 core configurations with 70W to 225W TDPs compared to over 400W for other Epyc CPUs.
Limited to 6 DDR5 memory channels and 96 PCIe 5.0 lanes for reduced IO versus other Epyc chips.
AMD claims up to 2X better power efficiency versus Intel Xeon and 16% faster video encoding while suited for scale-out, edge AI, and telco uses.

AMD Cautious on AI Chips, Sees Gaming PC Slowdown and Commercial PC Share Gains

AMD's director for the commercial client business, Justin Galton, believes that AI adoption on desktops is not yet widespread and may take some time to become apparent, with AMD's dedicated AI accelerator currently only available in one CPU model and more AI-equipped processors set to be released in 2024. Galton also mentioned that small to medium businesses may not be enthusiastic about AI, and that Intel may have more AI-ready desktop processors than AMD. Additionally, a gaming market report predicts a drop in demand for gaming PCs in 2023, while gaming monitor shipments are expected to increase. With regards to AMD's products, Galton said that buyers are currently opting for modestly priced PCs with Ryzen 5000 and 6000 models due to Intel's excess inventory. Additionally, AMD aims to expand its market share in commercial PCs to 20% in 2024.
