SCAN LAUNCHES AMD 4TH GENERATION EPYC CPUS IN 3XS SERVER RANGE
Ground-breaking CPUs now available for selection in custom server builds
Scan Computers (Scan) is pleased to announce that the new range of AMD 4th gen EPYC 9004 processors is available for immediate order in its range of custom designed 3XS Systems servers.
The AMD EPYC 9004 CPUs mark a new chapter in the EPYC story, with a new SP5 socket enabling support for a host of platform improvements. Leadership memory bandwidth and capacity is provided by support for 12-channels of 12TB of DDR5 memory. In addition the I/O has been upgraded to 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0, providing double the bandwidth of the previous generation using PCIe 4.0. Additionally, switching to a new 5nm manufacturing process enables the core count to be increased from 64 to an unparalleled 96 cores. This has all been achieved whilst continuing to provide the industry-leading Infinity Guard cybersecurity features built into the hardware.
In addition to the 12TB of DDR5 DRAM, AMD EPYC 9004 CPUs also support Type 3 Memory Expansion modules using the CXL 1.1 protocol. CXL (Compute Express Link) is an open standard for CPU to CPU and CPU to memory connections using the same physical slots as PCIe. The AMD EPYC 9004 platform supports CXL-compatible memory modules in two modes, memory expansion to boost bandwidth and capacity or memory pooling. Furthermore, the instruction set of AMD EPYC 9004 CPUs has also been expanded, adding in native support for AVX-512, VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions) and BFLOAT16 (Brain Floating Point 16-bit) to accelerate the most demanding HPC, deep learning and AI workloads.
Dan Parkinson, Director of Pre-sales and Collaboration at Scan, said ‘This new generation of AMD server CPUs really does take cutting-edge workloads to the next level. The increased core counts and upgraded PCIe 5.0 architecture is perfect for high performance computing and deep learning applications, even more so as the P-series CPUs continue to offer single-socket efficiency for GPU-accelerated server hardware configurations.’
Together, AMD EPYC and 3XS Systems offers the best IT services and environments to support critical infrastructure for advanced AI and HPC workloads. Further information on the AMD EPYC server solutions can be found here.
