Asus servers reach 67 world performance records

It seems that the ASUS 2P series servers are being a success in the sector, achieving performance records according to SPEC, the organization that evaluates the performance of server systems.

ASUS RS720-E9 and TS700-E9 set SPEC performance records

To become the fastest server modules in the world, ASUS is represented by the 2P RS720-E9 and TS700-E9 models, which have reached the top positions in processing capacity in the SPEC benchmarks.

SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) is a non-profit organization that is responsible for evaluating performance and energy efficiency in computer systems. For this purpose, they design different benchmarks and share the results in the media, having great prestige. The tests manage to push the processor, the compiler and the memory subsystem to the limit.

During this year, SPEC has concluded that the two most powerful servers are the ASUS RS720-E9 and TS700-E9, both using an Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 processor.

Specifically, the RS720-E9 (Rack Type) model obtained 4 world performance records in the SPEC CPU 2017 tests, among which the records in SPECint 2017 and SPECfp 2017 stand out .

On the TS700-E9 (5U) side, this was done with 4 other world performance records in the same performance test package.

On both servers, ASUS has implemented its proprietary Performance Boost technology, which helps improve latency and increase overall performance.

Although they have not obtained performance records, ASUS has other models available. The RS720Q-E9, which is a 2U4N server designed for intensive jobs that can host up to 8 cores and 48 memory modules, for a total of 6 TB. You can also talk about the RS700A-E9 model, which uses the AMD EPYC platform.

With these results, ASUS boasts of achieving 67 world performance records until August 2018, positioning itself as one of the leaders in the sector.
