  • Author: David Strom

In F1, fast cars and fast computers go hand in hand. Computational performance became more important when F1 IT authorities added rules that dictate how much computing and wind tunnel time each team can use. Mercedes was the top finisher in 2021 giving it the biggest compute/wind tunnel handicap. So, when it selected a new computer system, it opted for AMD EPYC™ processors, gaining 20% performance improvement to get more modeling done in less time.
