Powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute E6 Shapes Deliver Breakthrough Cloud Performance and Efficiency

— Leading cloud services providers expand their adoption of EPYC CPUs to meet growing public cloud demand —

Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced 5 th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors power the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute E6 Standard shapes. 5 th Gen AMD EPYC processors, the world's best server CPUs for enterprise, AI and cloud 1 enable OCI Compute E6 shapes to deliver up to a 2X increase in cost to performance, compared to the previous E5 instance generation based on testing by OCI 2 .

The new OCI Compute E6 shapes build on the success of the previous E5 generation to deliver leadership performance and cost efficiency for general-purpose and compute-intensive workloads. These OCI shapes add to the selection of more than a thousand compute instances powered by AMD EPYC processors across all major cloud service providers.

"The rapid adoption of AMD EPYC processors in the cloud underscores our ability to deliver innovative, high-performance solutions that enable our partners to create highly competitive cloud offerings," said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Server Business, AMD. "The combination of OCI's flexible infrastructure and the performance of 5 ^th Gen AMD EPYC processors helps customers accelerate their most demanding workloads while optimizing their cloud infrastructure."

"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is committed to providing our customers with the best-performing, most cost-effective cloud offerings," said Donald Lu, senior vice president, software development, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With the new OCI Compute E6 Standard shapes powered by AMD EPYC processors, we are delivering an unparalleled combination of compute power, scalability, and efficiency that meets the demands of today's most complex workloads."

Availability and Customer Adoption
OCI Compute E6 Standard bare metal instances and virtual machines are available today in multiple regions, including US East (Ashburn), US West (Phoenix), US Midwest (Chicago), Germany Central (Frankfurt), and UK South (London), with a rollout planned for additional regions in the coming months.
