Ampere® Altra® and Altra® Max Servers

Massive 80 / 128 Core CPU is Ready for ARM Platform

Expanding GIGABYTE's portfolio of servers, the new ARM-based servers are purpose built for the Amperes Altra / Altra MAX processor to offer more platform choices beyond x86. Altra / Altra MAX offers greater performance and power-efficiency, and fits easily into GIGABYTE's server design. The new evolution in chip design allows for greater performance at lower costs because the same amount of jobs will done with less nodes. Also, as server workflow continues to evolve, a system designed for cloud computing can be switched to a HPC system to fully utilize the server's value and get the most out of the investment.

Why Ampere Altra / Altra MAX Servers

Performance Boost

Up to 80 / 128 cores allows for more data to be processed and more jobs to be done at the same time, while running cool in a GIGABYTE chassis.
Architecture Improvement

The high core count CPU (on ARM architecture) eliminates the need for dual CPU (x86) systems while retaining performance and efficiency.
Aggregate Powerhouse

Ideal for the cloud where multiple, simultaneous jobs and consistent performance are essential, thus high core count CPUs are desired.
Superhighway of Data

Up to 128(1P) /192(2P) PCIe Gen4 lanes: more data can travel at one time, and faster throughput.
Green Savings

Greater performance / watt compared to competition, Altra / Altra Max will continue to push up value and drive energy costs down.
Cooperation

GIGABYTE has developed products with ARM for almost 10 years. And will be ready to deliver new ARM architecture systems to the market.

ARM Servers Transform Your Business

Cloud Servers

Cloud servers need high core count CPUs because they are employed in an environment where many requests are needed to be handled concurrently. Furthermore, storage access and tasks are needed to be completed faster while doing so more efficiently.
HPC Servers

High Performance Computing servers are the real workhorses and need massive parallel computing capabilities. Also, since HPC servers often work in clusters where GPU intensive work is done, high memory bandwidth is important, as well as fast storage.
Edge Servers

Edge servers need fast real-time computing on site, as they don't bounce processing to a main server. Likewise, they need an adequate storage capacity. By having the work done on site, there is a reduced data security risk.
