The difference and selection between Alibaba Cloud AMD server and Intel server

Alibaba Cloud AMD server and Alibaba Cloud Intel server The difference is that CPU processors are different, and other aspects are almost the same. With the development of the domestic cloud server market, Alibaba Cloud has also released several AMD servers with strong performance. Next, we will take a detailed explanation of the differences and choices between Alibaba Cloud AMD servers and Intel servers.

1、CPU

AMD EPYCTM ROME and MILAN processors are used. The main frequency is 2.55~2.6 GHz, and the Rui frequency is 3.3~3.5 GHz. The computing performance is stable.
This processor is a new processor launched by AMD in recent years, and its single core performance is comparable to the top Intel Xeon CPU.
While most Alibaba Cloud servers use Intel processors, the processor performance varies according to the ECS model and the applicable environment. For more information, click to view Alibaba Cloud Server Documentation 。

2. What are the Alibaba Cloud AMD servers

The common ones are AMD computing c6a, AMD general g6a, memory r6a, computing elastic bare metal server ebmc6a, general elastic bare metal server ebmg6a, memory elastic bare metal server ebmr6a, etc. As long as the AMD server with a in the model is very different from the Intel server, it can be seen from the name.

As low as 2.9% off for one year, 2.8% off for three years, limited to three sets. The price is lower and the performance is stronger. Based on the x86 architecture, all general/enterprise applications are seamlessly compatible. Software and hardware integration architecture, self developed DPCA chip, virtualization loss is 0.

3. AMD Server Configuration

Based on the third-generation DPCA architecture, it provides stable and ultra-high performance. The storage, network performance and computing stability are improved by order of magnitude through chip acceleration.

• I/O optimization instance
• Support ESSD cloud disk, SSD cloud disk and efficient cloud disk
• IPv6 support
• Ultra high network PPS receiving and sending capability
• Alibaba Cloud AMD ECS model specification configuration price

4. Applicable scenarios of AMD server

• Video codec
• High network packet receiving and sending scenarios
• Website and application server
• Small and medium-sized database system, cache, search cluster
• Game server
• Test development, such as DevOps
• Other common types of enterprise applications

5. From the above summary information, Alibaba Cloud AMD servers have strong performance and low price, and can provide ultra-high cost performance. If you don't want to use AMD servers and still need Intel servers, you can also refer to Alibaba Cloud promotional activities to purchase them.
