The DIMM capacity on each channel must be the same. Other previously stated restrictions apply.
‒ For performance reasons, channel interleaving is recommended and it is the default.
‒\Die interleaving across channel pairs is supported as long as channel interleaving is enabled within a socket and allchannels have the same memory capacity.

\Socket interleaving is supported as long as channel pair and channel interleaving are enabled and all channels inthe system have the same memory capacity.

Challenge: Develop IT infrastructure that is ideal for the business’
hypervisor applications, delivering a superior balance of coredensity, memory, and I/O bandwidth.

Challenge: High performance, NVMe, OpenStack based storage server.

Dell EMC PowerEdge 6415
Powered by AMD EPYC™ Processors

Tyan Transport SX Single Socket Server
Powered by AMD EPYC™ 7551 Processor

Result: High density, high performance VMs with lower TCO

Result: 4X Higher density per server over previous solution“Yahoo Japan is very selective in choosing which systems meet ourhigh-standards for performance and optimization in the datacenter.
AMD EPYC WAS ABLE TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS WHILEALSO LOWERING TOTAL-COST-OWNERSHIP USING A SINGLESOCKET PLATFORM. This first engagement with AMD EPYC begins asignificant new relationship between our companies. Yahoo Japan isexcited about the future AMD product roadmap and thecommitment AMD is showing to the needs of the server customer.”“We’ve seen massive growth in our streaming services, gaming andcontent businesses, so TO KEEP PACE WE NEEDED A POWERFUL ANDSUSTAINABLE SERVER PLATFORM. The AMD EPYC processor-based
system allows us to achieve secure and scalable infrastructure withimproved TOTAL-COST OF-OWNERSHIP. CyberAgent is looking
forward to working with AMD over the long-term to help us achieve a
new level of success across our businesses.”18 | AMD THIS IS EPYC! | JLUG 2018 | OCTOBER 25, 2018
