Google Cloud taps AMD’s 5th Gen Epyc CPUs for next-gen compute efficiency

Google Cloud is now previewing C4D and H4D VM instances powered by AMD’s 5th Gen Epyc processors. Tailored for AI inference, HPC, and general-purpose workloads, the new VMs promise notable performance gains, including up to 80% higher throughput per vCPU. With RDMA-enabled scaling and Zen 5 architecture under the hood, Google aims to meet rising demand for compute-intensive, cloud-native operations.
