Launching Cloudflare’s Gen 13 servers- trading cache for cores for 2x edge compute performance
Cloudflare’s Gen 13 servers double our compute throughput by rethinking the balance between cache and cores. Moving to high-core-count AMD EPYC ™ Turin CPUs, we traded large L3 cache for raw compute density. By running our new Rust-based FL2 stack, we completely mitigated the latency penalty to unlock twice the performance.
