CPU infrastructure is essential to the performance and efficiency of modern AI systems. AI accelerators depend on high-density, power-efficient CPU compute to process data, coordinate workloads and keep pipelines running at scale. Without this, training jobs don’t have enough data to learn from, and agents don’t have enough capacity to perform tasks on behalf of customers.

CPU infrastructure is essential to the performance and efficiency of modern AI systems. AI accelerators depend on high-density, power-efficient CPU compute to process data, coordinate workloads and keep pipelines running at scale. Without this, training jobs don’t have enough data to learn from, and agents don’t have enough capacity to perform tasks on behalf of customers. Azure HDv2 virtual machines are one of our latest offerings designed from the ground up to eliminate these bottlenecks and empower massive agentic workload adoption. Co-designed with AMD, HDv2 VMs expand Azure’s portfolio of purpose-built solutions for the most demanding CPU workloads from AI customers, including data preparation, search, reinforcement learning and agent coordination at scale.
Featuring nearly 500 physical 6th Gen AMD EPYC CPU cores, 4 terabytes of RAM, 32 terabytes of local NVMe storage and 400 Gb Azure Boost networking, HDv2 VMs are built for the workload needs of our most demanding AI customers.
