AMD
AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors offer outstanding price-performance ratio for desktops, laptops and servers — main competitor to Intel.
With the Zen architecture, AMD has overtaken Intel on value for money since 2017. EPYC server processors are used by AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Ryzen for the desktop and Ryzen PRO for business systems. AMD Radeon GPUs compete with NVIDIA in the middle of the market. ROCm makes AI training on AMD GPUs possible as an alternative to CUDA.
AMD at SW Business Solutions
SW Business Solutions sources and configures AMD processors and graphics cards for customer projects where value for money, multi-core performance or GPU computing is the priority. From workstations to server infrastructure, we cover the whole hardware procurement.
Use in customer projects
We use AMD hardware in various contexts:
- Workstations: AMD Ryzen processors for graphic design, video and developer workstations - a high core count at a competitive price
- Server infrastructure: AMD EPYC processors for on-premises servers with high memory requirements and many parallel processes
- GPU computing: AMD Radeon Pro and RDNA cards for CAD, 3D rendering or machine learning workloads
- Gaming/retail systems: Ryzen-based systems for kiosk and digital signage applications
Why AMD?
- Value for money: AMD EPYC and Ryzen often offer more cores per euro than comparable Intel products
- PCIe lanes: EPYC processors in particular offer more PCIe lanes, ideal for NVMe storage and multi-GPU setups
- An open platform: AMD systems can be combined flexibly with mainboards from various manufacturers
- ROCm for ML: AMD GPU computing through ROCm as an open-source alternative to CUDA
Typical project combinations
| Combination | Use case |
|---|---|
| AMD EPYC + Linux | High-performance on-premises servers |
| Ryzen + Windows 11 | Developer workstations |
| Radeon Pro + Linux | Render farms and CAD workstations |
| AMD + Dell/Lenovo chassis | Enterprise workstations with a warranty |
We handle advice, procurement, configuration and commissioning - including the manufacturer warranty and maintenance contracts.
