Siemens Energy is accelerating its digital transformation by upgrading its computing infrastructure with AMD EPYC CPUs, unlocking major gains in performance, efficiency, and scalability. As the global energy sector moves rapidly toward renewable power generation, the need for fast, reliable, and energy-efficient computing has never been greater.
Siemens Energy’s Omnivise T3000 control system plays a central role in managing and automating power plants, and the shift to AMD EPYC processors ensures it can meet rising data demands, execute complex digital twin simulations, and support the real-time control required for modern energy assets.
The result is a foundation that strengthens operational reliability, reduces energy consumption, and prepares the company for the next wave of large renewable projects, AMD said in a case study. The price of 32-core AMD EPYC 9334 CPUs in the United States is $2,420.
# Performance Tripled for Mission-Critical Control Systems
Siemens Energy recorded three times higher performance with AMD EPYC CPUs compared to its previous processors. This enables more complex operations and advanced automation across power generation and distribution environments.
# Energy Consumption Reduced by Over 30 percent
The switch to AMD EPYC processors delivered a substantial reduction in power usage. This contributes directly to Siemens Energy’s sustainability goals and improves efficiency across long lifecycle deployments.
# Reliable Real-Time Response for Safety-Critical Operations
Omnivise T3000, Siemens Energy’s control system, requires extremely fast response times for real-time control, protection, and automation. AMD EPYC CPUs support these stringent safety requirements with high single-core performance and stable processing power.
# Digital Twin Simulations Now Run at Unprecedented Scale
Simulations that once maxed out legacy servers now run smoothly. A single AMD EPYC-powered server can run three major plant projects in parallel, enabling full 1:1 digital twin modeling and complex process behavior simulations.
# Supports Rapid Growth in Renewable Energy Projects
With renewable energy systems generating massive volumes of data, especially from solar, battery storage, and offshore wind, Siemens Energy now has the processing capability to handle hundreds of thousands of signals and events per second.
# Seamless Hardware Upgrades Without Plant Downtime
Siemens Energy’s T3000 platform allows hardware and software upgrades without interrupting plant operations. The transition to AMD EPYC servers was completed smoothly, preserving uptime and operational reliability.
# Future-Ready for High Signal Density Environments
Renewable energy installations often involve huge numbers of distributed assets. AMD EPYC CPUs provide the compute headroom needed to process, archive, and analyze data from hundreds of thousands of sensors and battery cells.
# In-House Benchmarking Shows 20 percent Improvement Over Competitor CPUs
Siemens Energy’s internal tests demonstrated that AMD EPYC CPUs deliver nearly 20 percent more performance compared to competing processor solutions, offering measurable value and scalability.
# Broad Deployment Across Global Infrastructure
The company has deployed more than 800 systems powered by 16-core AMD EPYC 9124 CPUs and uses 32-core EPYC 9334 CPUs for more demanding digital applications — including advanced analytics and process information management.
# Fully Integrated Solution Without External Servers
The enhanced processing power removes the need for external servers for large-scale simulations or automation tasks. All workloads can be handled within a single T3000 system, simplifying architecture and reducing costs.
Siemens Energy’s deployment of AMD EPYC CPUs represents a major step forward in high-performance, energy-efficient computing for power generation and renewable energy operations. The upgrade enables faster processing, lower energy usage, smoother simulations, and readiness for the next generation of large-scale solar, wind, and battery-powered projects. With the ability to handle massive data loads and deliver real-time control, AMD EPYC CPUs are now the foundation of Siemens Energy’s digital future.
