March 21st 2022 – GIGABYTE Technology, (TWSE: 2376), an industry leader in high-performance servers and workstations, today announced GIGABYTE enterprise products to support the launch of AMD EPYC™ 7003 Series processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, and to announce four new products extending GIGABYTE’s enterprise product portfolio. In addition to the GIGABYTE enterprise products already validated for the new AMD processors, there are also some new products: MZ72-HB2, R162-ZA2, S472-Z30, and E152-ZE1.
One of the benefits of GIGABYTE enterprise products, and what makes their penetration span the globe, is the depth of servers to support the latest chip advancements that enhance workloads that focus on HPC, AI, storage, or 5G/edge applications. As new technology rolls out, whether it be a processor or a baseboard management controller (BMC), GIGABYTE will offer solutions to all.
AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology
Today marks the debut of the new world’s highest-performing x86 server processors with 3X the L3 cache for breakthrough, per-core performance in technical computing, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics, Electronic Design Automation, and Finite Element Analysis. In addition to the increase in L3 cache, these new processors continue to deliver low latency and high throughput for accelerators like the AMD Instinct™ MI200 Series or all-flash Gen4 drives. The new product stack will have SKUs for 16, 24, 32, and 64 core processors, and all of them have 768MB of L3 cache.
GIGABYTE Enterprise Products Available Now
GIGABYTE’s ongoing collaborations with all major technical partners allow for products to come to the market at the time of new product releases. For this AMD release, GIGABYTE has over 20 enterprise products that have already been validated today to support AMD EPYC 7003 processors with AMD 3D V-cache technology, and testing will continue to offer diverse platform choices.
