GIGABYTE Releases 6 New Unique Single Socket AMD EPYC™ 7002 Server Systems
GIGABYTE announces the addition of another six systems to our AMD EPYC™ server family. All new models created especially for the 2nd Generation AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series processor, these systems provide unique configurations and features to give our customers solutions to support their diverse and compute intensive workloads in the data center or at the edge.
As Dr. Lisa Su has emphasized, GIGABYTE has been a strategic partner of AMD and leading systems vendor of their EPYC™ 7000 Series platforms since the release of the first generation “Naples” processor in 2017, and this status has recently been reaffirmed by news that GIGABYTE’s new single and dual socket systems using the AMD EPYC™ 7742 processor have smashed 11 world records in enterprise computing and HPC benchmarks from SPEC, not only achieved against results from alternative processor based systems but even against competing vendor solutions using the same EPYC™ 7742 processor – illustrating that GIGABYTE’s system design and engineering is perfectly optimized to deliver the maximum performance possible from the 2nd Generation AMD EPYC™.
These six new systems form part of the 28 EPYC™ 7002 Series systems in total (including rack mount servers, GPU servers and high density multi-node servers) planned to be available before the end of 2019 – and firmly establishing GIGABYTE’s position as the system vendor with the most complete and diverse AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series “Rome” system lineups on the market.
These new systems are also built on AMD’s premise of a “no compromise single socket server” – a single EPYC™ 7002 Series processor can offer excellent two-socket performance without any arbitrary limitations to I/O or memory bandwidth traditionally encountered in a one socket system, while allowing customers to benefit from lower capital expenditure and lower power consumption. Single socket systems also help customers to cut their “per-socket software” licensing costs – such as needing only one VMware license for up to 64 cores. They are ideal to be used with AMD’s “P” version EPYC™ SKUs designed especially for one-socket systems which offer excellent value for money, such as the 7702P.
These six new single socket systems bring the disruptive technology of the AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Processors to the market in a unique range of form factors and configurations, designed to be on point to meet our customer’s needs in enterprise, cloud or edge computing.
