ꟷ 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Rade­on™ Pro GPUs power new Ama­zon EC2 G4ad Ins­tance with up to 40% bet­ter gra­phics performanceꟷ

ꟷ Ama­zon Game­Lift lever­a­ges the power of 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors for game ser­ver hos­ting solutionꟷ

SANTA CLARA, Calif. 12/02/2020

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced Ama­zon Web Ser­vices, Inc. (AWS) has expan­ded its AMD-based offe­rings with a new cloud ins­tance for Ama­zon Ela­s­tic Com­pu­te Cloud (Ama­zon EC2): Ama­zon EC2 G4ad ins­tances for gra­phics-opti­mi­zed workloads. With this new ins­tance, AMD now powers eight Ama­zon EC2 ins­tance fami­lies across 20 glo­bal AWS Regi­ons. AMD also announ­ced that Ama­zon Game­Lift, a ful­ly mana­ged dedi­ca­ted game ser­ver hos­ting solu­ti­on, is now pro­vi­ding its video game hos­ting cus­to­mers access to AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor-based Ama­zon EC2 C5a, M5a and R5a instances.

 “Today we build on the strong col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween AMD and AWS, which star­ted in 2017. This expan­si­on of our coope­ra­ti­on is a pro­of point of the con­tin­ued per­for­mance and capa­bi­li­ties that AMD pro­vi­des its cus­to­mers,” said For­rest Nor­rod, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Data Cen­ter and Embedded Solu­ti­ons Group, AMD. “Ama­zon EC2 G4ad ins­tances are the first powered by both AMD EPYC CPUs and Rade­on Pro GPUs, and adding to the exis­ting EPYC pro­ces­sor-based ins­tances, they exem­pli­fy the ways in which AMD CPUs and GPUs pro­vi­de fan­ta­stic per­for­mance and price/performance for AWS customers.” 

“The high-per­for­mance capa­bi­li­ties of the AMD EPYC CPUs and Rade­on Pro GPUs are enab­ling AWS to crea­te a new gra­phics-focu­sed ins­tance that help us keep our lea­der­ship price/performance offe­rings that our cus­to­mers expect,” said David Brown, Vice Pre­si­dent, Ama­zon EC2, Ama­zon Web Ser­vices, Inc. “We’re deligh­ted to con­ti­nue this gre­at col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with AMD, enab­ling the Ama­zon EC2 G4ad ins­tances to pro­vi­de the industry’s best pri­ce per­for­mance for gra­phics-inten­si­ve applications.”

 

New Amazon EC2 G4ad Instance

Fea­turing 2nd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Rade­on™ Pro V520 GPUs, the new G4ad ins­tance, which will be available later this month, is the first AWS ins­tance powered by both 7nm AMD CPUs and GPUs.

  • G4ad is built to sup­port gra­phics-inten­si­ve workloads and can pro­vi­de cus­to­mers with up to 45 per­cent bet­ter pri­ce per­for­mance and 40 per­cent bet­ter gra­phics per­for­mance, for cri­ti­cal work­sta­tion-class appli­ca­ti­ons and real-time game engi­nes, com­pared to exis­ting GPU based, Ama­zon EC2 G4dn instances.
  • Based on the AMD RDNA archi­tec­tu­re, the AMD Rade­on™ Pro V520 GPUs can deli­ver high­ly respon­si­ve, cloud-based work­sta­tion-class expe­ri­en­ces for the most deman­ding workloads with enter­pri­se-gra­de reliability.
  • The­se ins­tances also come with AMD Rade­on™ Pro Soft­ware for Enter­pri­se at no addi­tio­nal cost, offe­ring sup­port for pro­fes­sio­nals working with work­sta­tion appli­ca­ti­ons and the latest gra­phic APIs, like DirectX®, OpenGL® and Vul­kan® offe­ring pro­fes­sio­nal-gra­de gra­phics ren­de­ring for vir­tu­al workstations.

You can learn more about the AMD and AWS col­la­bo­ra­ti­on in this video inter­view bet­ween AMD CEO Lisa Su and AWS Vice Pre­si­dent of Ama­zon EC2, David Brown, which will go live  on Decem­ber 2 at 12:30pm PT as part of the AWS Vir­tu­al re:Invent sessions.

Amazon GameLift

Ama­zon Game­Lift is now pro­vi­ding its video game hos­ting cus­to­mers access on the AMD EPYC based Ama­zon EC2 C5a, M5a and R5a ins­tances to pro­vi­de gre­at price/performance capa­bi­li­ties to its video game ser­ver hos­ting customers.

With AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors, deve­lo­pers can use Ama­zon Game­Lift to deploy, ope­ra­te, and sca­le dedi­ca­ted high-per­for­mance ser­vers for mul­ti­play­er games at up to 10 per­cent lower cost over com­pa­ra­ble ins­tances.
