The new and completely re-designed X14 server platforms will leverage nextgeneration technologies to maximise performance for compute-intensive workloads and applications .

The new systems feature significant upgrades across the board , supporting a never-before-seen 256 performance cores ( P-cores ) in a single node , memory support up for MRDIMMs at 8800MT / s and compatibility with next-generation SXM , OAM and PCIe GPUs .

This combination can drastically accelerate AI and compute , as well as significantly reduce the time and cost of large-scale AI training , High-Performance Computing and complex data analytics tasks .

These new X14 systems feature completely re-designed architectures including new 10U and multi-node form factors to enable support for next-generation GPUs and higher

CPU densities , updated memory slot configurations with 12 memory channels per CPU and new MRDIMMs which provide up to 37 % better memory performance compared to DDR5-6400 DIMMS . In addition , upgraded storage interfaces will support higher drive densities and more systems with liquid cooling integrated directly into the server architecture .

The new additions to the Supermicro X14 family comprise more than 10 new systems , several of which are completely new architectures in three distinct , workload-specific categories :

• GPU-optimised platforms designed for pure performance and enhanced thermal capacity to support the highest-wattage GPUs . System architectures have been built from the ground up for large-scale AI training , LLMs , Generative AI , 3D media and virtualisation applications

• High compute-density multi-nodes , including SuperBlade and the all-new FlexTwin , leverage direct-to-chip liquid cooling to significantly increase the number of performance cores in a standard rack compared to previous generations of systems

• Market-proven Hyper rackmounts combine single or dual socket architectures with flexible I / O and storage configurations in traditional form factors to help enterprises and data centres scale up and out as their workloads evolve

Supermicro X14 performance-optimised systems will support the soon-tobe-released Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores and will also offer socket compatibility to support Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with E-cores in Q1 2025 . This designedin feature allows workload-optimised systems for either performance-per-core or performance-per-watt .

“ The new Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores are our most powerful ever , with more cores and exceptional memory bandwidth and I / O to achieve new degrees of performance for AI and compute-intensive workloads ,” said Ryan Tabrah , VP and GM of Xeon 6 at Intel . “ Our continued partnership with Supermicro will result in some of the industry ’ s most powerful systems that are ready to meet the ever-heightening demands of modern AI and High- Performance Computing .” �
