HPE, Dell, Lenovo, and Supermicro have unveiled new servers designed for intensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads, incorporating the latest MI325X GPUs and AMD’s 5th generation Epyc processors, previously known as Turin. The announcements came after AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su unveiled these chips at the Advancing AI event in San Francisco.
HPE has launched the ProLiant Compute XD685 server, which includes eight MI325X accelerators and two Epyc CPUs. This 5U server is designed to maximize rack density with 8-way GPU systems, offering air and liquid cooling options. It is specifically tailored for training large language models and other large-scale AI workloads. It will be available starting in the first quarter of 2025.
Dell has detailed five new servers incorporating the 5th generation Epyc processors. Among them, the PowerEdge XE7745 stands out, supporting up to 16 GPUs in a 4U chassis and will be available globally in January 2025. The servers PowerEdge R6715, R7715, R6725, and R7725, also featuring Epyc processors, will be available starting in November 2024.
Lenovo has updated its ThinkSystem range with the new Epyc processors and MI325X GPUs. These servers are optimized for AI workloads and offer energy efficiency improvements thanks to their Neptune liquid cooling system, reducing energy consumption by up to 40%. While Lenovo has not provided a specific global availability date, these systems are expected to accelerate AI-driven digital transformation in various industries.
Supermicro has launched its new family of H14 servers, also featuring AMD Epyc processors and MI325X GPUs. This line includes seven different models, including systems for AI training and inference, and is available with air or liquid cooling options. The servers can support up to 192 cores per CPU with a 500W thermal design, optimizing performance and energy efficiency.
In summary, these innovations reinforce AMD’s presence in the data center and server market, offering advanced AI solutions aimed at increasing efficiency and performance in various technology industries.
