Santa Rosa, California – keysight technology Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:) announce a breakthrough in network performance benchmarking by introducing new test methodologies for mobile and 5G networks. did.
This development is intended to address growing bandwidth demands and the need for a realistic assessment of network infrastructure that can support millions of high-bandwidth, low-latency devices.
A new benchmark approach leveraging Keysight’s software and AMD’s 4th generation EPYC CPUs is designed to evaluate the true scalability and power of CPUs under realistic conditions. This methodology focuses on generating real-world traffic to test the infrastructure’s ability to handle simultaneous requests for voice, video, and web sessions.
This innovative testing solution is particularly relevant for industries undergoing digital transformation and automation, such as smart manufacturing and smart energy grids. Traditional benchmarks often fail to measure a CPU’s potential under network bandwidth constraints. Still, Keysight and AMD’s unified test case methodology aims to more accurately represent CPU performance by emulating traffic at scale.
AMD Corporate Vice President Raghu Nambiar emphasized the importance of this partnership, saying that AMD EPYC CPUs’ ability to deliver parallel processing performance will help them handle the increasing amount of data traffic on 5G networks. He said that this is extremely important.
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President at Keysight, highlighted the inadequacy of one-dimensional benchmarking techniques and the need for new performance benchmarks in modern mobile and 5G networks. The use of AMD’s “Zen 4” chiplet architecture in this context demonstrates its ability to meet complex network demands.
This partnership between Keysight and AMD is an important step toward enabling data center operators to accurately provision infrastructure to support the rapid growth of 5G and mobile network applications. The information in this article is based on the press release.
