ASUS Releases Servers with MI325X Accelerators Powered by AMD EPYC 9005 CPUs

A range of servers driven by the innovative AMD EPYC 9005-series CPUs were unveiled by ASUS today, establishing new benchmarks for performance and density for workloads in AI-driven data centers. Among the entire lineup is the AMD-compatible ASUS ESC A8A-E12U.

With the ability to accommodate eight GPUs for large-scale AI model training, the ASUS ESC8000A-E13P GPU servers, and Instinct MI325X accelerators provide unparalleled processing capability. One multi-node server for cloud computing and EDA is the ASUS RS520QA-E13. The RS720A-E13, RS700A-E13, RS521A, and RS501A are among ASUS’s adaptable solutions for general-purpose applications. To meet the expectations of the most demanding workloads, these servers are designed to give exceptional performance across a variety of applications.

At the heart of these servers are AMD EPYC 9005-series processors, formerly known as Turin. Based on the Zen 5 architecture, these powerful CPUs have up to 192 cores, 384 threads, and a frequency of up to 5GHz. They are meant to take AI-driven data center workloads to new heights. Superior performance in AI inference is achieved by EPYC 9005-series processors, which have an industry-leading vCPU density and combine enhanced computation and AI capabilities to handle both traditional and mixed jobs.

Because of the x86 architecture, which unifies this lineup diversity, clients can effortlessly incorporate ASUS servers with AMD EPYC 9005-series processors into their pre-existing x86 infrastructure. This makes it possible for the data center to migrate and transition in an efficient manner, guaranteeing continuity and increasing operational effectiveness.

AI servers: ESC A8A-E12U and ASUS ESC8000A-E13P

Specifically intended to provide parallel computing and flexible networking, the ASUS ESC A8A-E12U and ASUS ESC8000A-E13P are eight-GPU servers. With a 7U form factor, two AMD EPYC 9005-series CPUs, support for AMD Instinct MI325X accelerators, and a direct GPU-to-GPU connectivity, the ESC A8A-E12U enables effective scaling for big AI models and HPC workloads with up to 6TB/s of bandwidth.

Significantly improving support for NVIDIA OVE and NIM is made possible by the ASUS ESC8000A-E13P server’s strong AMD EPYC CPUs, generous memory, and complete adherence to the NVIDIA MGX architecture. Its characteristics allow customers to establish dedicated instances, speed up training and simulations, facilitate real-time collaboration, and guarantee that the infrastructure scales smoothly to accommodate the increasing demands of OVE and NVIDIA NIM projects, all of which promote additional innovation and adoption.
