Supermicro’s Expanded, Proven Portfolio Includes Systems Designed for Maximum Performance-Per-Watt on Cloud-Native, Storage Optimized, and Scale-Out Workloads, and Air and Liquid- Cooled Systems for AI and HPC Environments
SAN JOSE, Calif. and TAIPEI, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Computex 2024 — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, is launching its X14 server portfolio with support for Intel® Xeon® 6700-series processors with E-cores, and will provide future support of Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores. Based on platforms proven over several generations, the new Supermicro X14 servers support the latest Intel Xeon 6 processors, starting with a family of rackmount servers supporting enterprise, cloud service provider, mid-range, and entry models, including the Hyper, CloudDC, and WIO platforms. Also, the density and efficiency-optimized multi-node servers, the SuperBlade®, with up to 34,560 cores per rack, BigTwin®, and GrandTwin®, will incorporate this new processor. Supermicro’s Petascale storage systems and Edge and Telco-optimized servers, such as the Hyper-E and short-depth compact systems, will also be available. In the future, high-performance systems will soon be available with Intel Xeon 6900-series processors with P-cores. Systems with Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores will deliver 2-3X* better performance for AI workloads and 2.8X* higher memory bandwidth. Future systems using the Intel Xeon 6 processors with E-cores are expected to deliver 2.5X* higher rack density than previous generations and a 2.4X* performance per watt improvement, resulting in reduced PUE of a data center to as low as 1.05.
“Supermicro is an industry leader in designing, building, and delivering workload-optimized solutions at scale, including data center scale liquid cooling. The new X14 servers will provide even greater flexibility and customization options to our customers,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “The Supermicro X14 product families are our most powerful and flexible systems we have ever designed and are optimized for a wide range of applications, from the data center to the edge. We see that up to 20% of data centers will need to be liquid cooled in the future, and Supermicro is uniquely positioned to offer an entire solution, from cold plates to cooling towers.”
For greater efficiency and lower TCO, Supermicro offers liquid cooling solutions that can be added to any deployment, including CPU and GPU cold plates, a cooling distribution unit, manifold, tubing, and a cooling tower, with all components developed and manufactured in-house for a complete solution.
The new Intel Xeon 6 processors with E-cores feature a single thread per core. They are optimized for workloads that benefit from a more significant number of energy-efficient cores to run more simultaneous instances at once using less power, such as cloud-native CDNs, network microservices, cloud-native applications such as Kubernetes, application DevOps, unstructured databases, and scale-out analytics.
Supermicro X14 systems powered by the new Intel Xeon 6 processors feature pin compatibility between E-core and P-core variants. Current and future Supermicro systems will feature up to 576 cores per node, DDR5-6400 and MCR DIMMs with up to 8800 MT/s, CXL 2.0, wider E1.S and E3.S support, and up to 400G networking. The new Intel Xeon 6 processors will be available in the 6700-series, an upgraded version of previous generation Intel Xeon processors, and the 6900-series, an all-new class of processors to maximize performance. Intel Xeon 6900-series processors will feature more cores, higher TDP, increased memory channels, and support for MCR DIMMs. The Supermicro X14 platform is also the first Supermicro platform to support the OCP Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS), which reduces complexity and simplifies maintenance for large cloud service providers and hyperscalers.
“Intel is executing on its roadmap to deliver ‘4 nodes in 5 years’, and with Xeon 6, we are introducing revolutionary new processor features including our first ever enterprise-class Efficient-core products for cloud-native and scale-out workloads ,” said Ryan Tabrah, VP and GM of Xeon 6 E-Core Products at Intel. “These new processors are enabling our partners such as Supermicro to develop new Xeon systems which are denser and more efficient than ever before, helping customers to achieve their business goals while lowering TCO.”
The Supermicro portfolio of X14 systems is performance-optimized and energy-efficient, incorporates improved manageability and security, supports open industry standards, and is rack-scale optimized. With a global production capacity of 5,000 racks per month, including 1,350 liquid-cooled racks, Supermicro’s expert engineers can design, build, validate, and deliver complete systems with industry-leading time-to-market.
