Microsoft is innovating in cloud infrastructure by introducing a custom AMD processor for high-performance computing, enhancing capabilities through Azure's HBv5 virtual machines, which could outperform rivals significantly.
The Azure HBv5 virtual machine utilizes custom AMD Epyc 9V64H processors with an impressive 352 cores, supporting 6.9 TBps memory bandwidth, addressing memory-intensive high-performance computing applications.
Each HBv5 instance is fortified with a 14 TB local NVMe SSD capable of 50 GBps read and 30 GBps write, significantly enhancing data handling and processing efficiency.
By introducing the HBv5 VM, Microsoft asserts that their new design offers twice the Infinity Fabric bandwidth compared to any existing AMD Epyc server platform, pushing the envelope on performance.
