GIGABYTE Introduces a Broad Portfolio of G-series Servers Powered by NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs

GIGABYTE, an industry leader in high-performance servers and workstations, announced its G-series servers’ validation plan. Following the NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPU announcement today, GIGABYTE has completed the compatibility validation of the G481-HA0 / G292-Z40 and added the NVIDIA A100 to the support list for these two servers. The remaining G-series servers will be divided into two waves to complete their respective compatibility tests soon. At the same time, GIGABYTE also launched a new G492 series server based on the AMD EPYC 7002 processor family, which provides PCIe Gen4 support for up to 10 NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPUs. The G492 is a server with the highest computing power for AI models training on the market today. GIGABYTE will offer two SKUs for the G492. The G492-Z50 will be at a more approachable price point, whereas the G492-Z51 will be geared towards higher performance.

NVIDIA A100 PCIe GPU Compatibility Validation Plan
Max GPU	6/22	2nd wave	3rd wave
2 x A100	–	–	R281-3C2
3 x A100	–	R282-Z93	R281-G30
4 x A100	–	–	G191-H44
8 x A100	G292-Z40	G292-Z20 G482-Z52	G291-280 G291-281
10 x A100	G481-HA0 G492-Z50 G492-Z51	–	–

The G492 is GIGABYTE's second-generation 4U G-series server. Based on the first generation G481 (Intel architecture) / G482 (AMD architecture) servers, the user-friendly design and scalability have been further optimized. In addition to supporting two 280W 2nd Gen AMD EPYC 7002 processors, the 32 DDR4 memory slots support up to 8TB of memory and maintain data transmission at 3200MHz. The G492 has built-in PCIe Gen4 switches, which can provide more PCIe Gen4 lanes. PCIe Gen4 has twice the I/O performance of PCIe Gen3 and fully enables the computing power of the NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU, or it can be applied to PCIe storage to help provide a storage upgrade path that is native to the G492.
