Supermicro Introduces New Servers and GPU Accelerated Systems
Supermicro has announced the launch of a new series of servers, GPU-accelerated systems, and storage servers featuring the AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors and AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs. The new H14 product line represents one of the most extensive server families in the industry, including Supermicro’s Hyper systems, the Twin multi-node servers, and AI inferencing GPU systems, all available with air or liquid cooling options. The new “Zen5” processor core architecture implements full data path AVX-512 vector instructions for CPU-based AI inference and provides 17% better instructions per cycle (IPC) than the previous 4th generation EPYC processor, enabling more performance per core.
Supermicro’s new H14 family uses the latest 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors which enable up to 192 cores per CPU with up to 500W TDP (thermal design power). Supermicro has designed new H14 systems including the Hyper and FlexTwin systems which can accommodate the higher thermal requirements. The H14 family also includes three systems for AI training and inference workloads supporting up to 10 GPUs which feature the AMD EPYC 9005 Series CPU as the host processor and two which support the AMD Instinct MI325X GPU.
“Supermicro’s H14 servers have 2.44X faster SPECrate 2017 fp_base performance using the EPYC 9005 64 core CPU as compared with Supermicro’s H11 systems using the second generation EPYC 7002 Series CPUs,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro. “This significant performance improvement allows customers to make their data centres more power efficient by reducing the total data centre footprint by at least two-thirds2 while also adding new AI processing capabilities. The H14 server family provides the highest performance, density, and power efficiency available through Supermicro’s liquid and air-cooling options, wide selection of system designs, and proven Building Block Solutions.”
“Supermicro’s ‘Building Block Solutions’ has enabled it to consistently deliver time-to-market solutions powered by AMD across a variety of compelling system designs,” said Forrest Norrod, executive vice president and general manager, Data Centre Solutions Group, AMD. “Our collaboration with Supermicro, along with their in-house engineering design and manufacturing capabilities worldwide combined with their rack-scale integration capability for both air and liquid-cooled systems enables customers of any scale to generate time-to-value from AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs.”
