IDC and AMD have published an interesting research study where we can find a series of very relevant data that confirms, in summary, that digitization will have an increasing weight, so much so that, as we have anticipated in the title, it is expected that, for 2022, 65% of world GDP is digitized.
Digital transformation continues to be one of the most important drivers in the professional world, and AMD he has known how to play his cards in this sense thanks to the development of EPYC processors. As many of our regular readers will recall, prior to the advent of first-generation Zen architecture, the Sunnyvale firm’s involvement in the professional sector was very limited.
Today, three generations later (Zen, Zen 2 and Zen 3, since Zen + was not implemented in the EPYC series), AMD can boast of having become one of the options more interesting, and more competitive, within the industry of high-performance x86 processors for servers and workstations, and its future looks very good since, as we saw at the time in this article, with the Zen 4 architecture, AMD will not only make the leap to 5 nm, but will also raise the bar both in single-thread performance as well as multi-thread performance.
Returning to the data in the report, we also find other very interesting data that are worth putting on the table. Let’s see the most relevant:
- Only 25% of digital leaders They use an agile IT infrastructure based on a modern digital platform, with all that this implies in terms of performance, security and costs. In this regard, efficiency (performance per watt) is key.
- 81% of digital leaders favor a hybrid cloud approach, that is, to join private or local cloud with other public cloud services.
- 77% of digital leaders are more likely to use flexible consumption models of “pay-as-you-go” to fund more than 50% of your IT infrastructure spending. This is understandable, since you avoid having to make a huge investment by adopting the classic purchase model.
- 59% of digital leaders consider the future of the planet using a portion of servers that are less than three years old.
