SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) a Total IT Solution Provider for AI/ML, HPC, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, today adds new maximum performance GPU, multi-node, and rackmount systems to the X14 portfolio, which are based on the Intel Xeon 6900 Series Processors with P-Cores (formerly codenamed Granite Rapids-AP). The new industry-leading selection of workload-optimized servers addresses the needs of modern data centers, enterprises, and service providers. Joining the efficiency-optimized X14 servers leveraging the Xeon 6700 Series Processors with E-cores launched in June 2024, today’s additions bring maximum compute density and power to the Supermicro X14 lineup to create the industry’s broadest range of optimized servers supporting a wide variety of workloads from demanding AI, HPC, media, and virtualization to energy-efficient edge, scale-out cloud-native, and microservices applications.

“Supermicro X14 systems have been completely re-engineered to support the latest technologies including next-generation CPUs, GPUs, highest bandwidth and lowest latency with MRDIMMs, PCIe 5.0, and EDSFF E1.S and E3.S storage,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Not only can we now offer more than 15 families, but we can also use these designs to create customized solutions with complete rack integration services and our in-house developed liquid cooling solutions.”

Approved customers can obtain early access to complete, full-production systems via Supermicro’s Early Ship Program or for remote testing with Supermicro JumpStart.

These new Supermicro X14 systems feature completely re-designed architectures, including all-new 10U and multi-node form factors that support next-generation GPUs and higher CPU core densities, updated memory slot configurations with 12 memory channels per CPU and new MRDIMMs, which provide up to 37% better memory bandwidth compared to DDR5 DIMMs.

The new Supermicro X14 family comprises a number of new systems —several of which are completely new architectures—in three distinct, workload-specific categories:

GPU-optimized platforms designed for pure performance and enhanced thermal capacity to support the latest technology and highest-wattage GPUs. System architectures are built from the ground up for large-scale AI training, LLMs, generative AI, 3D media, and virtualization applications.High compute-density multi-nodes including all-new FlexTwin™,SuperBlade®, and GrandTwin®, which leverage resources such as shared power and cooling to increase efficiency, as well as direct-to-chip liquid cooling on specific models to maximize density without compromising on performance.Market-proven Supermicro Hyper rackmounts combine single or dual socket architectures with flexible I/O and storage configurations in traditional form factors to help enterprises and data centers scale up and out as their workloads evolve.

Supermicro’s new max-performance X14 systems support the new Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores, while X14 efficiency-optimized systems support the Intel Xeon 6700 series processors with E-cores, which launched in June 2024. These systems will also offer socket compatibility with the upcoming Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with E-cores and Intel Xeon 6700 series processors with P-cores in Q1’25 to provide an additional dimension of flexibility when optimizing systems for either performance-per-core or performance-per-watt.

“For the first time, Intel is offering two distinct, workload-optimized families of Xeon processors in the same generation, each designed to deliver specific performance and efficiency profiles that can shorten time-to-results, revolutionize compute, power and rack density, maximizing ROI for modern data centers,” said Ryan Tabrah, VP and GM of Xeon Products at Intel. “With the new additions, Supermicro will be able to provide their customers with even more choice with the introduction of these new performance optimized CPUs for AI and compute-intensive workloads.”

When configured with Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores, Supermicro systems support new FP16 instructions on the built-in Intel® AMX accelerator to further enhance AI workload performance.
