Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE and an industry leader in generative AI servers and advanced cooling technologies, today announced support for AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors with the release of new GIGABYTE servers alongside BIOS updates for some existing GIGABYTE servers using the SP5 platform. This first wave of updates supports over 60 servers and motherboards that customers can choose from that deliver exceptional performance for 5th Generation AMD EPYC processors. In addition, with the launch of the AMD Instinct MI325X accelerator, a newly designed GIGABYTE server was created, and it will be showcased at SC24 (Nov. 19-21) in Atlanta.

New GIGABYTE Servers and Updates
To fill in all possible workload scenarios, using modular design servers to edge servers to enterprise-grade motherboards, these new solutions will ship already supporting AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors. The XV23-ZX0 is one of the many new solutions and it is notable for its modularized server design using two AMD EPYC 9005 processors and supporting up to four GPUs and three additional FHFL slots. It also has 2+2 redundant power supplies on the front-side for ease of access.

AMD in its Financial Analyst Day 2022 presentation, unveiled its next-generation "Zen 5" CPU microarchitecture. The company's latest CPU microarchitecture roadmap also confirms that variants of its "Zen 4" CCDs with 3D Vertical Cache (3DV Cache) are very much in the works, and there will be variants of the EPYC "Genoa" processors with 3DV Cache, besides standard ones.

AMD stated that it completed the design goal of the current "Zen 3" architecture, by building it on both 7 nm and 6 nm nodes (the latter being the client "Rembrandt" processor). The new "Zen 4" architecture will debut on the 5 nm node (TSMC N5), and could see a similar optical shrink to the newer 4 nm node somewhere down the line, although AMD wouldn't specify whether it's on the enterprise segment, or client. The next-gen "Zen 5" architecture will debut on 4 nm, and see an optical shrink to 3 nm on some future product.
