ANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced Ryzen™ Thre­ad­rip­per™ PRO pro­ces­sors will help power the new GeForce NOW RTX 3080 mem­ber­ship tier from NVIDIA. Dri­ven by AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO pro­ces­sors, the new GeForce NOW RTX 3080 mem­ber­ship gives next-gene­ra­ti­on cloud gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces to play­ers everywhere.

NVIDIA’s GeForce Super­Pods harness the class-lea­ding per­for­mance of AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO with unpar­al­le­led core counts and high-fre­quen­cy clock speeds to sup­port over 39 peta­flops of gra­phics per­for­mance. Each pro­ces­sor also fea­tures 128 PCIe® Gen 4 lanes, indus­try-lea­ding con­nec­ti­vi­ty, and unmat­ched memo­ry band­width1 to ensu­re GeForce NOW RTX 3080 mem­bers have the tech­no­lo­gy requi­red for a smooth, relia­ble experience.

The Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO lin­e­up was desi­gned to offer users incre­di­ble per­for­mance and unri­va­led band­width and sets the indus­try stan­dard for extre­me com­pu­ting per­for­mance across a ran­ge of use cases, inclu­ding the rapidly-gro­wing cloud gam­ing space,” said Chris Kilb­urn, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, cli­ent com­po­nent busi­ness, AMD. “Working with NVIDIA, it is clear that the expan­si­ve fea­ture set of Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO is the per­fect plat­form to power their next-gene­ra­ti­on cloud gam­ing experience.”

The GeForce NOW Super­POD and GeForce NOW RTX 3080 gam­ing expe­ri­ence are the cul­mi­na­ti­on of over a decade’s worth of cloud gam­ing advance­ments that will enable low-laten­cy cloud gam­ing at 1440p and 120 frames per second for the first time,” said Phil Eis­ler, vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger of GeForce NOW at NVIDIA. “AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors pro­vi­de the best CPU, memo­ry, and I/O per­for­mance for our gam­ing workload for this gene­ra­ti­on, hel­ping to deli­ver a mas­si­ve leap in per­for­mance for gamers.”
