Advantech AI servers leverage AMD EPYC
Advantech is launching a portfolio of servers based on AMD EPYC 9006 SP8 processors to support next-generation AI infrastructure. Servers, such as the SKY-924E5F, provide the scalability and reliability required for AI, high-performance computing (HPC), networking, and mission-critical industrial workloads.
EPYC 9006 series server CPUs feature up to 128 Zen 6 or Zen 6c cores, 256 threads, and 2-nm process technology, delivering up to a 20% average performance improvement over the previous generation and up to a 20% performance-per-watt improvement. These processors enable more virtual machines, higher throughput, and improved system efficiency. With up to 128 PCIe Gen6 lanes per CPU, CXL 3.1 memory expansion, and support for DDR5-8000MHz and MRDIMM-12800MHz, the EPYC-powered servers provide balanced compute, memory, and I/O performance.
The edge servers support GPU-accelerated AI workloads and AFA-ready high-density E1.S/E3.S NVMe SSD storage. The lineup includes the following models:
- SKY-642E5, 4U MGX GPU server for large-scale AI acceleration
- SKY-722E5, 2U DC-MHS server with DC-SCM capability for modular data center and edge AI deployments
- SKY-712E5, 1U DC-MHS server with HHHL and FH-3/4L expansion card compatibility for high-density enterprise edge and cloud workloads
- SKY-822E5, 2U short-depth DC-SCM modular server accommodating 2–3 dual-slot GPU cards for space-constrained edge data centers
- SKY-924E5F, 2U 4-node front-access server for distributed edge computing
- ASMB-982 and ASMB-832, server boards for flexible, expandable system designs
