The Irish government supports the new investment. Before the acquisition of Xilinx by AMD in 2022, Xilinx partnered with IDA Ireland on several occasions to advance semiconductor innovation in Ireland. Most recently, in 2017, Xilinx announced a $40 million investment to expand its research, development, and engineering operations and recruit over 100 new skilled employees.
AMD also announced that its AMD EPYC Embedded Series processors are powering Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co’s (NYSE: HPE) new modular, multi-protocol storage solution, HPE Alletra Storage MP.
HPE Alletra Storage MP allows customers to deploy, manage, and orchestrate data and storage services via the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform eliminating data silos and reducing cost and complexity while improving performance.
HPE Alletra Storage MP uses a range of EPYC Embedded processor models, with performance options ranging from 16 – 64 cores and a thermal design power profile ranging from 155W – 225W.
The stock has gained over 82% YTD.
