RESEARCH PAPER: AMD Pensando – Silicon that Supercharges the Modern Datacenter

Enterprises face challenges on multiple fronts, with new demands on datacenter infrastructure. Emerging workloads, born of today’s generative AI “gold rush,” are computationally intensive and tax the limits of legacy hardware and software. Edge enablement, designed to lower latency and improve network performance, also increases power consumption and corresponding operational expense levels. The latter is problematic, given that most enterprises are engaged in sustainability efforts to reduce carbon emissions and curb power consumption. Furthermore, the rise of modern work-from-anywhere management creates management complexity with the need to manage connectivity and security at scale across domains — from on-premises, to edge, to multi-cloud.
