New AMD EPYC™ Family of Processors - Same Great SP5 Platform

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.

Optimal Price

Our broad portfolio of products tailored to applications allow customers to only select server features they require while doing so at a lower TCO.

Applications

HPC & AI

HPC and AI applications are diverging but much of their hardware still overlaps. They rely on high compute performance from CPU and/or accelerators to process large volumes of data or do run simulation and modeling. For the amount of data they too need high speed or high capacity storage paired with fast networking for clusters.

Cloud Computing

Predictable performance and scalability matter in cloud computing. Having dedicated virtual CPU cores is also a necessity, along with a high core count CPU that delivers greater compute density. And this includes both scale-up and scale-out environments.

Enterprise

Businesses and institutions rely on mission-critical workloads so the IT infrastructure should also reflect it. Enterprise-based servers need to be secure for privacy and data protection, reliable for continuous operation, and adaptable for the ever evolving business needs.
