GIGABYTE Announces New Servers for AmpereOne Family of Processors

GIGABYTE Technology's subsidiary, Giga Computing, a leading provider of high-performance servers, server motherboards, and workstations, has unveiled four new GIGABYTE R-series servers designed for cloud-native computing. These servers are specifically optimized for high compute density per rack and power efficiency.

Hyperscalers and cloud service providers (CSPs) require reliable, scalable infrastructure and power-efficient nodes for cloud-native computing. GIGABYTE's servers running on the AmpereOne Family platform meet these requirements. This partnership between GIGABYTE and Ampere Computing began in 2020 with the launch of the Ampere Altra platform. The new AmpereOne processors complement the Altra platform, showcasing the capabilities of the Arm architecture by Ampere Computing. The AmpereOne processors offer enhanced performance and VM density, with CPU core counts ranging from 136 to 192 cores, surpassing the 128 cores of the Altra platform. Additionally, the private L2 cache per core has doubled, and the processors support DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5.

GIGABYTE's servers are well-suited for the AmpereOne platform, with single and dual socket options available in both the 1U and 2U form factors. The larger 2U servers (R283-P93 & R263-P33) offer expanded capabilities, including support for multiple dual-slot GPUs and additional expansion slots for networking, AI inference cards, and other off-chip devices. The 1U servers (R183-P92 & R163-P32) are designed for CPU compute density and support SSDs using NVMe, SATA, or SAS protocols.

These new GIGABYTE servers support various operating systems, including RHEL 9.0, Fedora 36, Oracle 9.0, Ubuntu 22.04, and Debian 11.
