AMD EPYC™ Processors

The New x86 Option

AMD's return to the CPU segment delivers a whole new value proposition to the x86 world. Built on GIGABYTE's extensive design expertise across a range of chipset platforms, this AMD EPYC™ platform is already receiving acclaim for its high specification:

• Memory
• I/O
• Network connectivity

This platform is intended as an alternative for builders in the x86 space and packs a real punch in flexibility and expansion options.

CPU Key Features

• Memory Optimization
  Memory speed of up to 2666MHz (at 1DPC)
  Total memory capacity of 2TB supported
• PCIe Lanes
  Up to 128 lanes in both 1P and 2P offerings providing the highest expandability options of any x86 platform
• Cores / Power
  CPU power is managed at the core level, meaning that power is allocated only for specific workload needs
• Security
  Proprietary AMD security on chip

Comprehensive I/O

Both single- and dual-socket CPUs come equipped with 128x PCIe lanes, providing extensive I/O options. This is a huge improvement in I/O vs. incumbent x86 offerings.
Increased I/O allows for flexibility in extending your storage, networking or compute to a level previously unattainable with standard server motherboards.
In addition, the integrated nature of the processor - designed as a system-on-chip (SoC) - means that there is no need for a separate PCH and less additional switches needed for expansion lanes.

NVIDIA® V100 Tensor Core GPU Support

GIGABYTE's AMD EPYC server systems and motherboards are fully compatible and qualified to use with NVIDIA® V100 Tensor Core GPUs, an advanced data center GPU built to accelerate AI, HPC, and graphics. Powered by NVIDIA Volta™ architecture and with 640 Tensor Cores, the NVIDIA V100 has broken the 100 teraflops (TFLOPS) barrier of deep learning performance - enabling data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.

Dense, High Speed Storage Support

Onboard M.2

GIGABYTE AMD EPYC™ platforms are designed to support on-board 'M.2' storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks. Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.

Data Security

TPM 2.0 Module

GIGABYTE's EPYC™ platform is designed to support Trusted Platform Modules (TPM - discrete cryptographic on-board processors).

Carefully Selected Components

GIGABYTE's passive components are carefully selected to guarantee a stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance. GIGABYTE's server motherboards are built with long lasting components for a high degree of reliability and durability.
