(AMD) GIGABYTE G292-Z20

AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series Processor (Rome)

The next generation of AMD EPYC has arrived, providing incredible compute, IO and bandwidth capability – designed to meet the huge demand for more compute in big data analytics, HPC and cloud computing.

• Built on 7nm advanced process technology, allowing for denser compute capabilities with lower power consumption.
• Up to 64 core per CPU, built using Zen 2 high performance cores and AMD’s innovative chiplet architecture.
• Supporting PCIe Gen 4.0 with a bandwidth of up to 64GB/s, twice of PCIe Gen 3.0
• Embedded security protection to help defend your CPU, applications, and data.

PCIe Gen 4.0 Ready

AMD EPYC Rome is ready to support PCIe Gen 4.0 with a bandwidth of 64GB/s, twice that of PCIe Gen 3.0.

This doubles the bandwidth available from the CPU to peripheral devices such as graphics cards, storage devices and high speed network cards. GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC 7002 Series server platforms are ready to be used with a new generation of PCIe Gen 4.0 devices such as AMD’s Radeon MI50 GPGPU.

The PCIe 4.0 standard supports a 16 GT/s bit rate, (roughly 2GB/s per single lane) as opposed to 8GT/s bit rate for PCIe 3.0 (1GB/s).

Higher Memory Speed

On previous AMD server platforms, memory speed has been automatically downgraded by design when a user installed two DIMMs per channel.

GIGABYTE has now developed a unique solution to overcome this performance downgrade headache: with our new 2nd Generation AMD EPYC 7002 Series server platforms, maximum memory speed (3200Mhz) is now supported even when using 2 DIMMS per channel*. GIGABYTE’s server platforms give you the performance edge, with more memory capacity at faster speeds than competing solutions!.

Intelligent Power Management Features

Cold Redundancy: When the total system loading falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, enabling the other PSU to take over the greater load. This can enable total system power efficiency savings of up to 10%.

SCMP (Smart Crises Management / Protection): SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature that will automatically force the system’s CPU to enter ULFM (ultra-low frequency mode for minimum power consumption) when the BMC is alerted to a PSU fault or error (such as power loss, power surge, overheating or a fan problem). This feature will prevent shutdown in systems with less than 1 + 1 PSU redundancy when one PSU is lost.

Dynamic Fan Speed Control

GIGABYTE servers are enabled with dynamic fan speed adjustment.

Individual fan speed will be automatically adjusted according to the system’s current temperature (according to CPU, DIMM, M.2, HDD, GPU temperature sensors), to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. When the BMC detects a temperature change, fan speed will be automatically adjusted accordingly. Fan speed profiles may also be manually created and edited when necessary according to the user’s custom requirements.

Nvidia Tesla V100S Support and Nvidia RTX Server

• GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC server systems and motherboards are fully compatible and qualified to use with NVIDIA’s Tesla V100 GPU, an advanced data center GPU built to accelerate AI, HPC, and graphics.
  Powered by NVIDIA’s Volta architecture and with 640 Tensor Cores, the Tesla V100 has broken the 100 teraflops (TFLOPS) barrier of deep learning performance — enabling data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.
• GIGABYTE servers have been tested and validated across a range of workloads with NVIDIA Quadro RTX GPUs and virtual GPU software to deliver real-time ray tracing and advanced graphics capabilities such as photorealistic rendering, CAE simulation, scientific visualization, AR and VR at the edge and virtual workstation solutions in data center.

Efficient, Reliable Power Supply

GIGABYTE’s AMD EPYC 7002 Series server are designed to guarantee high conversion efficiency regardless of load.

Redundant 80 Plus ‘Titanium’ or ‘Platinum’ PSUs, combined with GIGABYTE’s precision engineering, translates to super efficient power usage which maximizes the system’s power:performance ratio and reduces OPEX for the user.
