Supermicro's new rack-scale X14 systems will take advantage of
the shared Intel platform, offering socket compatibility for the
Intel Xeon 6 processor with a unified architecture. The upcoming
processor portfolio will be available with Efficient-core (E-core)
SKUs increasing performance-per-watt for cloud, networking,
analytics, and scale-out workloads, and Performance-core (P-core)
SKUs increasing performance-per-core for AI, HPC, Storage and Edge
workloads. The upcoming processors will also feature built-in Intel
Accelerator Engines with new support for FP16 on Intel Advanced
Matrix Extensions. New Supermicro X14 systems will support up to
576 cores per node, as well as PCIe 5.0, CXL 2.0 for all device
types, NVMe storage, and the latest GPU accelerators, significantly
reducing application execution times for users running AI
workloads.
Customers can leverage the Intel Xeon 6 processors with
Efficient-cores and Performance-cores in a wide range of Supermicro
X14 servers, with minimal software redesign and new server
architectural advantages included.
"Intel is once again on the leading edge of innovation in the
industry and is excited to bring increased choice and flexibility
through Intel Xeon 6 CPUs with E-cores and P-cores," said
Ryan Tabrah, VP of the Intel Xeon 6
product line at Intel. "These CPUs offer two uniquely optimized
microarchitectures in a common platform design with a shared
software stack, helping customers get the best value across their
diverse workload needs, regardless of the industry or deployment
model on-prem, in the cloud, or at the edge. Our strong partnership
with Supermicro will help deliver the benefits of this new
generation of processors to customers."
Supermicro will offer pre-launch availability of new X14 systems
powered by the Intel® Xeon® 6 processor to
qualified customers through its remote JumpStart and Early Ship
programs to perform workload validation.
The Supermicro portfolio of X14 systems is performance optimized
and energy efficient, incorporates improved manageability and
security, supports open industry standards, and is rack-scale
optimized.
Liquid cooling and rack-scale integration to build
application-optimized solutions of any size. Supermicro offers
complete design, building, validation, and delivery services from a
single rack to an entire data center cluster. In addition, a
complete liquid cooling solution is available directly from
Supermicro, which reduces overall data center electricity
usage.
Systems are workload-optimized for maximum performance and
efficiency, and the Supermicro X14 platform supports the
latest generation of GPUs, DPUs, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, Gen5 NVMe
storage, and CXL 2.0.
Energy-efficient to reduce data center OPEX with support
for free-air or direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Supermicro X14
systems are designed to operate in high-temperature data center
environments up to 40° C (104° F), reducing cooling costs. Systems
also support multiple airflow cooling zones for maximum CPU and GPU
performance and are powered by in-house designed Titanium level
power supplies for improved operational efficiency.
Improved security includes NIST 800-193 compliant
hardware platform Root of Trust (RoT) on every server node and
second-generation Silicon RoT designed to incorporate industry
standards. Supermicro's open industry standards-based
attestation/supply chain assurance from motherboard manufacturing
through server production to customers, cryptographically attesting
the integrity of each component and firmware using signed
certificates and secure device identity. Run-time BMC protections
