For the people who are eyeing AMD’s latest server-grade CPU and accelerators, ASUS got you covered with its latest release.
Designed to unless the power of the Zen 5-based EPYC 9005-series processors with up to 192 cores, 384 threads, and frequencies reaching up to 5GHz, Team Red’s full power can only be fully realized through the Instinct MI325X accelerators with 256GB of HBM3E memory.
One of the new servers is the ESC A8A-E12U running a 7U form factor and features 2x EPYC-9005 processors + up to 8x GPU slot for the MI325Xs for up to 6TB/s bandwidth via direct GPU-to-GPU interconnect, optimizing performance for large AI models and HPC workloads. Meanwhile, the ESC8000A-E13P, powered by AMD EPYC processors and NVIDIA MGX architecture compliance, offers robust support for NVIDIA OVE and NIM, enabling real-time collaboration, simulation acceleration, and seamless scalability for demanding AI projects, this will be pretty sweet for the “mix and match” gang.
On the other hand, the RS520QA-E13 is a powerful multi-note-tailored server optimized for electronic design automation (EDA) and cloud computing. Powered by AMD EPYC 9005-series processors, it offers remarkable memory expandability, with configurations supporting 12+8 DIMMs per node, delivering speeds of 6000MT/s for 1DPC and 4400MT/s for 2DPC. Its front access design provides flexibility, while an ergonomic handle and toolless bracket simplify maintenance. With support for processors up to 400W and efficient air-cooling solutions, the RS520QA-E13 is a top choice for handling the most demanding workloads.
We also have the RS700A-E13, RS720A-E13, RS521A-E12, and RS501A-E12 that fill the slots of general-purpose servers. The first two are for the high-performance tiers with the RS720A-E13 standing unique with its GPU-optimized design and up to 24x all-flash NVMe slots while the RS720A-E13 cuts back a bit to 12x slots. Meanwhile, the RS521A-E12 and RS501A-E12 prioritize Power-Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with high scalability.
