Tyan, subsidary of MiTAC, showed off their new range of AMD EPYC based servers with a distinct focus on compute density. These included new introductions to their Transport lineup of configurable servers which now host EPYC 9004 "Genoa" series processors with up to 96-cores each. The new additions come as 2U servers each with a different specialty focus. First up is the Transport SX TN85-B8261, aimed squarely at HPC and AI/ML deployment, with support for up to dual 96-Core EPYC "Genoa" processors, 3 TB of registered ECC DDR5-4800, dual 10GbE via an Intel x550-AT2 as well as 1GbE for IPMI, six PCI-E Gen 5 x16 slots with support for four GPGPUs for ML/HPC compute, and eight NVMe drives at the front of the chassis. An optional more storage focused configuration if you choose not to install GPUs is to have 24 total NVMe SSDs at the front soaking up the 96 lanes of PCI-E.
Right to the side on the same display Tyan had the TD76-B8058 which is still a 2U chassis, but this one houses four separate nodes intended for those who need even higher core density for cloud or distributed compute. Each node supports a single EPYC processor with up to 2 TB of its own registered ECC DDR5-4800, two 1GbE ports split between an Intel i210-AT and a Realtek RTL8211FD-CG, one single-slot PCI-E Gen 5 x16 slot, two PCI-E Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD slots, and finally four 2.5 inch E1.s hot-swappable storage bays. Once four of these nodes are fully loaded you're looking at a potential 384 physical cores, 8 TB of DDR5, and many dozens of terabytes of solid state storage crammed into a full depth 2U.
Over on the MiTAC side of the booth they had running a set of the recently launched Capri2, or CP2S11-U, 1/3 width OCP server sleds. This 1/3 width form factor allows for three sleds to fit into a standard 2U chassis while providing full forward facing I/O and expansion. Each CPS2S11-U can host a single EPYC processor with an accompanying eight DIMM slots for up to 2 TB Registered DDR5-4800; eight DIMM slots instead of twelve as the chassis is too narrow to support the full 12-channel array that EPYC "Genoa" supports. Toward the front of the sled we have four E1.s hot-swappable drive bays for SSD storage, OCP NIC 3.0 port, USB 3.2, 1GbE for IPMI and three full height PCI-E Gen 5 expansion slots, with two wired for x16 and one for x8. This allows for each sled to support a single full size GPU as well as another smaller PCI-E card such as another NIC.
