Supermicro and Arm deliver energy-efficient rack-scale infrastructure for enterprise AI
Supermicro has announced a new class of AI-centric solutions featuring Arm AGI CPUs. The increasing compute demands of modern agentic AI require a new class of rack-scale infrastructure that maximises compute performance within the power envelopes and physical footprints of enterprise data centres. Supermicro’s new solutions are built to support the rapid growth of agentic AI, delivering performance, efficiency, and density that maximises the economics of rack-scale deployments backed by Supermicro’s, end-to-end DCBBS capabilities reduce time-to-online.
“Supermicro continues to lead the industry when it comes to deploying new and innovative rack-scale solutions that maximize performance and efficiency,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Our DCBBS technology stack delivers end-to-end data center solutions of any size, which combined with the new density and efficient performance optimized Arm AGI CPU microarchitecture, helps enterprises realize significant TCO savings on their agentic AI infrastructure investments.”
“Agentic AI is driving a fundamental shift in infrastructure requirements, where efficiency, scalability, and orchestration performance are becoming just as critical as raw compute,” said Mohamed Awad, Executive Vice President, Cloud AI Business Unit, Arm. “By combining Arm AGI CPUs with Supermicro’s rack-scale system expertise, we’re enabling infrastructure designed to deliver higher AI throughput, maximum compute density, and improved data centre economics at scale.”
Supermicro’s new computing platforms consist of air-cooled dual-socket 2U compute-optimised and 5U GPU-optimised rack-mount servers, as well as a liquid-cooled multi-node solution designed specifically for rack-scale agentic AI deployments. Combining Supermicro’s modular, high-density architectures with the energy-efficient Arm Neoverse CSS V3-based CPUs enables scalable, flexible infrastructure that maximises performance-per-watt and lowers energy demand to accelerate AI adoption across modern data centres.
When deployed in Supermicro solutions, the Arm AGI CPU can deliver over 2x performance per rack compared to traditional architectures and help enterprises save up to $10 billion in CAPEX per Gigawatt of AI data centre capacity based on Arm’s estimates. Building on Supermicro’s industry-leading rack density and performance-per-watt, these solutions help ensure maximum utilisation of data centre space and power resources.
Arm AGI CPU boasts a dense 136-core microarchitecture purpose built for performance, minimising legacy overhead and completing more work per cycle for sustained, unthrottled performance. 6GB/s memory bandwidth per core and latency-optimised memory access support linear scaling, while expanded memory capacity and flexible I/O provides energy-efficient, scalable agentic AI infrastructure to orchestrate thousands of parallel tasks across distributed infrastructure.
With over 6,000 cores in a single air-cooled rack, enterprises can efficiently deploy numerous dedicated systems for a high volume of agentic AI tasks.
