Global provider of high-performance server solutions, MSI, has unveiled its latest AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series CPU-based server boards and platforms, designed to handle the most demanding workloads in modern data centres. The new offerings promise to deliver superior performance, density, and energy efficiency, catering to data-intensive operations such as AI, cloud computing, and business-critical processes.
At the heart of MSI’s new servers are the AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors, which offer up to 192 cores and 384 threads, setting a new benchmark for compute power. These servers are tailored to meet the rapidly evolving demands of data centres, providing exceptional scalability and energy efficiency. The platforms are set to address various industry challenges, including AI-enabled and cloud-native workloads.
Danny Hsu, General Manager of MSI’s Enterprise Platform Solutions, highlighted the significance of the launch: “Our new AMD EPYC 9005 Series CPU-based platforms are not just about raw performance; they represent a strategic leap forward for data centres looking to maximise operational efficiency while minimising their environmental footprint. These systems ensure that enterprises can stay ahead of evolving industry demands and adapt quickly to new opportunities.”
AMD’s new 5th generation EPYC processors are integral to this development, featuring the company’s innovative “Zen 5” cores and a chiplet-based architecture that enables higher performance with lower energy consumption. Ravi Kuppuswamy, Senior Vice President of AMD’s Server Business Unit, commented: “5th Gen AMD EPYC processors deliver the compute capabilities our customers require for their most demanding AI-enabled data centre workloads. With these highly efficient cores, we have created an advanced and diversified server CPU portfolio to address the needs of the modern data centre.”
Cutting-Edge Solutions for Modern Data Centres
MSI’s DC-MHS server series, which incorporates the AMD EPYC 9005 processors, is geared towards improving flexibility and scalability. These solutions include multi-node servers, enterprise servers, and server boards, all designed to enhance operational efficiency in data centres.
The multi-node servers, which maximise space and resource utilisation, include the CD370-S4051-X2 and CD270-S4051-X2 models. These systems feature PCIe 5.0 x4 U.2 NVMe bays for fast data transfer, making them ideal for AI and data-heavy workloads. For businesses prioritising throughput, the CD270-S4051-X4 model, equipped with liquid cooling options, is designed to excel in cloud environments.
MSI also introduced its enterprise server, the CX271-S4056, which features 24 DDR5 DIMM slots and offers flexible design options, including GPU acceleration, to handle demanding workloads like AI and cloud-native applications.
Additionally, MSI’s CXL Memory Expansion Server, the S2301, expands memory capacity to an impressive 8TB, making it well-suited for data-intensive tasks such as In-Memory Databases and High-Performance Computing (HPC).
GPU Servers for AI and HPC
For AI and high-performance computing, MSI’s new G4101-01 and G4101-03 GPU servers deliver powerful performance, with support for GPGPUs and liquid cooling. These servers are equipped with AMD EPYC 9005 processors, ensuring high-speed data transfer and reliability for demanding AI and machine learning tasks.
As the data centre landscape continues to evolve, MSI’s new AMD EPYC 9005 Series server platforms position the company as a key player in providing cutting-edge solutions for enterprises looking to scale and future-proof their infrastructure.
