Lenovo has also extended its Neptune liquid cooling offering for use throughout its ThinkSystem portfolio, with the direct and open-loop warm water cooling reducing energy consumption by up to 40 percent, when compared to traditional air-cooling models.

“Lenovo is helping organizations of all sizes and across various industries achieve AI-powered business transformations,” said Vlad Rozanovich, Senior Vice President, Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group. “Not only do we deliver unmatched performance, we offer the right mix of solutions to change the economics of AI and give customers faster time-to-value and improved total value of ownership.”

Lenovo has not provided any information about when the new AMD-powered ThinkSystem servers will be globally available.

Supermicro unveils AMD-powered H14 family of servers featuring

Supermicro has announced a new series of servers, dubbed the H14 product line, featuring AMD’s latest Epyc 9005 Series processors and AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs.

The product line features seven different offerings and according to the company is one of the most “extensive server families in the industry,” featuring Supermicro’s Hyper systems, the Twin multi-node servers, and AI inferencing GPU systems, all available with air or liquid cooling options.

The product line supports up to 192 cores per CPU with up to 500W thermal design power (TDP). The product portfolio also includes three systems for AI training and inference workloads, supporting up to 10 GPUs.

“The H14 server family provides the highest performance, density, and power efficiency available through Supermicro's liquid and air-cooling options, wide selection of system designs, and proven Building Block Solutions,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO, Supermicro.

The Supermicro H14 products with AMD Epyc CPUs are available for customer testing today through the company’s JumpStart program.

Giga Computing details new server; releases solution update

Gigabyte subsidiary Giga Computing has launched a new server alongside a BIOS update for a number of existing server products currently available on the company’s SP5 platform.

The company said the first wave of updates supports over 60 servers and motherboards, while the new server will ship with support for AMD Epyc 9005 series processors. Its modularized server design will consist of two Epyc 9005 CPUS and support up to four GPUs.

“Using the same socket to support multiple generations of AMD Epyc processors is quite impressive, considering the boost in compute performance that we have seen with Epyc 9005 Series CPUs,” said Vincent Wang, VP of sales at Giga Computing. “As these technological advancements such as the AMD Instinct MI325X continue to push boundaries in compute in AI and more, we appreciate the relationship we have with AMD that allows us to echo our updates at the same time as AMD’s announcement.”

Giga Computing will showcase its new server at November’s Supercomputing conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
