The SP5 socket has reached its pinnacle form with 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors. The same successful platform that was shared by AMD EPYC™ 9004 & 8004 series processors is now the same one for AMD EPYC™ 9005 series processors. With up to 192 cores, increased frequencies and cache, this top tier performance platform targets general purpose, cloud native, and technical computing. Building on the advantages of the EPYC™ 9004 series, the new EPYC™ 9005 series adopts the 3nm process with AMD “Zen5” and “Zen5c” core architecture, excelling in both energy efficiency and cost optimization. GIGABYTE has already prepared for this new processor with new servers and updates to existing products for 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors.
Increased transistor density alongside a reduction in power consumption
Dedicated “Zen 5” & “Zen 5c” cores increase compute density
An L3 cache increase helps to reduce latency in data-intensive operations
Memory capacity up to 9TB in a 2 DIMM per channel configuration
Dual socket configuration adds a significant amount of I/O connectivity
Disaggregated compute architecture possible via Compute Express Link
Servers and motherboards by GIGABYTE are tested to ensure peak performance for demanding workloads while supporting the latest GPU and CXL technology.
With 192 CPU cores per socket, GIGABYTE's 4-node servers support up to 1,536 CPU cores, allowing a far greater number of concurrent tasks to be done.
Keeping pace with the challenges for next gen technology, well designed GIGABYTE boards provide users the signal integrity for fast PCIe 5.0 speeds.
AMD and GIGABYTE have maintained a healthy relationship that values shared knowledge and open communication in order to launch products in tandem.
Our broad portfolio of products tailored to applications allow customers to only select server features they require while doing so at a lower TCO.
For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.
GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.
To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
Clipping mechanism secures the drive in place. Install or replace a new drive in seconds.
GIGABYTE offers servers that feature an onboard OCP NIC 3.0 slot for the next generation of add on cards. Advantages of this new type include:
Being a member of key software alliance partner programs enables GIGABYTE to rapidly develop and validate joint solutions, enabling our customers to modernize their data centers and implement IT infrastructure and application services with speed, agility, and cost optimization.
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.
SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.
If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.
GIGABYTE offers free-of-charge management applications via a specialized small processor built on the server.
For management and maintenance of a server or a small cluster, users can use the GIGABYTE Management Console, which is pre-installed on each server. Once the servers are running, IT staff can perform real-time health monitoring and management on each server through the browser-based graphical user interface. In addition, the GIGABYTE Management Console also provides:
GSM is a software suite that can manage clusters of servers simultaneously over the internet. GSM can be run on all GIGABYTE servers and has support for Windows and Linux. GSM can be downloaded from GIGABYTE website and complies with IPMI and Redfish standards. GSM includes a complete range of system management functions that includes the following utilities:
