Intel’s New Xeon E5-2600 CPUs Boston’s 64-core Power 2U server Quatro
Now that Intel’s Xeon E5-run processors are finally out, in Boston, one of the largest resellers and partners of Super Micro has announced the new Quattro 1264-T server Which can pack no less than 64 processor cores inside its 2U chassis.
In order to build such a high-density solution, Boston went with Supermicro’s 2U Twin 2 ^ barebones server.
This integrates four dual-socket motherboard inside a compact 2U chassis Which, when combined with Intel’s new octo-core Xeon server processors E5-2600 can deliver a total of 64 CPU cores.
Each one of the four motherboards is equipped with installed eight DIMM sockets (four for each CPU) and, according to Supermicro modules, can help as much as 256GB of memory when populated with 32GB DDR3.
Supermicro Launches A Slew Of Xeon E5 Servers
Supermicro X9 Highlights
Launches at least 30 motherboards and 35 distinct systems with a wide variety of configurations – the largest selection of the suppliers we’ve reviewed to date Claims to be in 4th position in the x86 server market Sells more through delivery than OEM channels Is used by software suppliers to build appliances Is well-known in HPC markets Application optimized solutions for Data Center, endeavor IT, Cloud and Embedded Computing Has developed revenues from $137 million to $943 million in the years between 2003 and 2011
Supermicro is well known as an OEM supplier, although given the nature of this business there’s small open recognition from its supplier customers. We often hear its name when suppliers launch appliances (from Symantec when it closed its partnership with Huawei, for instance). Perhaps hardly surprisingly for the OEM market it has launched a fantastic variety of servers based on Intel’s new Xeon E5 processor – so many it’s hard to count. But our research indicates that the majority of its business is really through distributors. You’ll be interested to find out more about the companionship and catch up on its X9 server platforms, which were launched at CeBIT in Germany last week.
AMD Opteron 3200 Chips
Advanced Micro Devices is rolling out a low-cost, low-power Opteron chip aimed at Web hosting and cloud computing environments.
The Opteron 3200 family tree, which is being shown this week at the Planet Hosting Day consequence in Germany, is AMD’s latest effort to gain greater footing in the booming hosting and cloud markets, where businesses are looking for small, excellent-performing and highly energy-efficient servers.
It also dovetails with AMD’s announcement last month of its intentions to spend $334 million to buy SeaMicro, which makes microservers using low-power x86-based chips and its own fabric interconnect architecture. SeaMicro currently makes systems using Intel’s Atom processors, but it’s expected AMD will migrate them to its own Opteron chips.
The new Opteron 3200 family tree—which includes three chips that offer four to eight cores, speeds ranging from 2.7GHz to 3.7GHz, thermal design power of 45 to 65 watts, and various AMD-developed power-saving technologies, such as Turbo Core and PowerNow—will give Web hosting companies a low-cost option when considering microservers, according to John Fruehe, director of product marketing for AMD’s server group.
Synology 4-Bay DiskStation DS412+ NAS Server Makes Its Debut
Synology has just introduced an updated version of the high-performance 4-bay DiskStation DS412 NAS (Network Attached Storage) server, the DS412+, which adds a couple of new features to its predecessor.
In order to build the DS412+, Synology started by redesigning the case of its previous model so that it could add hot-swap help, as well as a new cooling system.
This uses a run of passive CPU heatsinks and dual exhaust fans that control their rotation speed according to the temperatures recorded inside the NAS case.
Another modification brought to the DS412+ when compared to its predecessor, is the inclusion of a front panel USB 3.0 port, which makes this Synology’s first 4-bay server to add help for this interface.
Nvidia Shows Off First ‘Kepler’ GPUs – PCs first, Server GPU coprocessors in Q3
Graphics chip and PC and server processor wannabe Nvidia is lifting the skirt a bit on its next-generation “Kepler” graphics processing units now as it starts talking about the feeds and speeds of its new GeForce graphics cards for desktop and notebook PCs.
As Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang clarified when he outed the roadmap for the Kepler GPUs (originally slated for late 2011) and the “Maxwell” stay on-ons due in 2013, Nvidia is focused like a laser on performance per watt, not just performance, for its GPU chips. This is because heat, more than any other factor, is the gating issue deciding where GPUs can be adopted and where they cannot.
The promise that Huang made back in September 2013 was that by shifting to a new design and moving to a 28 nanometer wafer-baking process at foundry partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp, Nvidia could deliver somewhere on the order of three to four era the double-precision floating point operations per watt of the current “Fermi” GPUs, which are used in GeForce graphics cards for PCs, Quadro GPUs for workstations, and Tesla server coprocessors alike. And the shift to Maxwell in 2013 is supposed to deliver 16 era more double-precision flops per watt as the Fermis.
