Supermicro announces upcoming X14 server family
Supermicro, is announcing its X14 server portfolio with future support for the Intel Xeon 6 processor. The combination of Supermicro’s Building Block Architecture, rack plug-and-play and liquid cooling solutions, and the breadth of the new Intel Xeon 6 processor family means Supermicro can deliver optimised solutions for any workload and at any scale.
Accelerating customers’ time-to-solution, Supermicro is also providing early access to the new systems, which are available to qualified customers, via Supermicro’s Early Ship program and free remote access for testing and validation via the JumpStart Program.
Supermicro’s new rack-scale X14 systems will take advantage of the shared Intel platform, offering socket compatibility for the Intel Xeon 6 processor with a unified architecture. The upcoming processor portfolio will be available with Efficient-core (E-core) SKUs increasing performance-per-watt for cloud, networking, analytics, and scale-out workloads, and Performance-core (P-core) SKUs increasing performance-per-core for AI, HPC, Storage and Edge workloads. The upcoming processors will also feature built-in Intel Accelerator Engines with new support for FP16 on Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions. New Supermicro X14 systems will support up to 576 cores per node, as well as PCIe 5.0, CXL 2.0 for all device types, NVMe storage, and the latest GPU accelerators, significantly reducing application execution times for users running AI workloads.
Customers can leverage the Intel Xeon 6 processors with Efficient-cores and Performance-cores in a wide range of Supermicro X14 servers, with minimal software redesign and new server architectural advantages included.
Supermicro will offer pre-launch availability of new X14 systems powered by the Intel Xeon 6 processor to qualified customers through its remote JumpStart and Early Ship programs to perform workload validation.
The Supermicro portfolio of X14 systems is performance optimised and energy efficient, incorporates improved manageability and security, supports open industry standards, and is rack-scale optimised.
Supermicro offers complete design, building, validation, and delivery services from a single rack to an entire data centre cluster. In addition, a complete liquid cooling solution is available directly from Supermicro, which reduces overall data centre electricity usage.
