Prowess also noted that support for [bfloat16 instructions](https://www.computerweekly.com/feature/Bfloat16-What-it-is-and-how-it-impacts-storage) in 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, enabled the running of larger AI models within different databases. “They are effectively built-in accelerators for certain workloads, especially in the AI and media space. “These CPUs at 96 cores are quite demanding thermally, but what we’re able to do through some unique smart cooling engineering within the PowerEdge portfolio is make the most efficient use case,” Jones said. If we’re setting world records with these machines before some of the components are the latest, we’re going to see a continuing trend there and more records should fall.” [David Nicholson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daven007), industry analyst for theCUBE in a special broadcast as part of theCUBE’s ongoing [“Does Hardware Matter?”](https://doeshardwarematter.com/dhm/does-hardware-matter) series. Frankly, companies that don’t adopt AI on a massive scale run the risk of being left behind.” The 4th Gen AMD EPYC processor-based platforms include larger quantities of high speed DDR5 memory and interconnects that reduce latency. The Dell platforms achieved world record results across a wide range of benchmarks in all four categories, according to the findings published by Prowess.
