\n AMD<\/u>
\n <\/a> (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.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday 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,\u201d said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Data Center and Embedded Solutions Group, AMD.\u00a0\u201cAmazon 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d said David Brown, Vice President, Amazon EC2, Amazon Web Services, Inc. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to continue this great collaboration with AMD, enabling the Amazon EC2 G4ad instances to provide the industry\u2019s best price performance for graphics-intensive applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
