Table of contents:
AMD is making waves with its new EPYC business chips that debuted earlier this year. The company's giants, including Dell & HP, have been using AMD's new chips at their own pace and are on track to roll out new servers powered by EPYC processors before the end of this year and during the first quarter of 2018.
AMD EPYC processors surprise with their performance
Yesterday HPE, the business arm of HP, announced that its new ProLiant DL385 Gen10 systems have broken two world performance records at the benchmarks SPECrate®2017_fp_fp_base and SPECfp®_rate2006.
The DL385 is a dual-processor 2U rack chassis with 24 transmission bays, which means that thanks to EPYC, it can scale up to 64 Zen cores and 128 threads, as well as access 4 terabytes of DDR4 memory and 128 PCIe tracks. In terms of storage and I / O, the chassis is capable of powering 24 NVMe SSDs or 30 2.5-inch SATA drives, as well as 3 dual-slot or 5 single-slot GPUs.
An HPE DL385 Gen10 system based on the AMD EPYC Model 7601 scored 257 on SPECrate®2017_fp_base, higher than any other two-socket system score published by SPEC®.1. The same system also scored a 1980 score on SPECfp®_rate2006, higher than any other specification.
These results were published in a press release from AMD itself, which wants to open a gap within the server market.
The new EPYC powered DL385 systems should be available beginning in December.
