AMD crafts custom EPYC CPU with HBM3 for Azure: 88 Zen 4 cores and 450GB of HBM3


This AMD chip with HBM3 is exclusive to Azure.

Microsoft announced its latest high performance computing (HPC) Azure virtual machines powered by a custom AMD CPU that may have once been called MI300C. It’s more probable that the CPU has 96 fully functional cores, with eight of them reserved for operating the VM, perhaps in an orchestration or hypervisor role. Intel has already launched HBM-infused CPUs based on Sapphire Rapids, called Xeon Max, which are used in the Aurora supercomputer and are also generally available.
