Tyan/Mitac Upgraded HPC, AI and Data Center Solutions

Tyan, Mitac Computing Technology Corp.‘s subsidiary, introduced upgraded server platforms and motherboards based on the 5th gen Xeon Scalable Processors, formerly codenamed Emerald Rapids.

5th Gen Xeon Scalable processors: delivering more compute and faster memory at same power envelope as previous-gen
5th Gen Xeon processor has increased to 64 cores, featuring a larger shared cache, higher UPI and DDR5 memory speed, as well as PCIe 5.0 with 80 lanes. Growing and excelling with workload-optimized performance, 5th gen Xeon delivers more compute power and faster memory within the same power envelope as the previous-gen.

“5th gen Intel Xeon is the second processor offering inside the 2023 Intel Xeon Scalable platform, offering improved performance and power efficiency to accelerate TCO and operational efficiency“, said Eric Kuo, VP, server infrastructure business unit, Mitac. “By harnessing the capabilities of Intel’s new Xeon CPUs, Tyan‘s 5th-Gen Intel Xeon-supported solutions are designed to handle the intense demands of HPC, data centers, and AI workloads.

Secondly, Thunder HX TS75-/TS75A-B7132 is a 2U dual-socket server platform supporting up to 8TB memory capacity for in-memory computing and virtualization applications. It offers 2xonboard LAN options, dual 10GbE or dual GbE, 5xstandard PCIe 5.0 slots, 1xOCP v3.0 LAN mezzanine slot, and 2xNVMe M.2 slots. 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives are supported on TS75-B7132 and TS75A-B7132 respectively.

Thunder TS70A-B7136 front and rear

Compared with TS75-/TS75A-B7132 family, Thunder SX TS70-/TS70A-B7136 is the other 2U dual-socket server platform features 16xDIMM slots with DDR5-5600 memory support, dual onboard 10GbE, 5xstandard PCIe 5.0 slots, 1xOCP v3.0 LAN mezzanine slot, and 2xNVMe M.2 slots. TS70-/TS70A-B7136 provide the same storage scenario as TS75-/TS75A-B7132 at front and with additional 2x2.5″ boot drive bays at rear.

Thunder CX GC79A-B7132 front and rear

Standard 1U form factor is well-adopted by most of datacenters and the firm have 2x1U products on the shelf. Thunder CX GC79A-B7132 is a 1U2S cloud server features 32xDIMM slots with DDR5-5600 memory support. It provides 12xNVMe U.2 hot-swap, tool-less drive bays for high IO/s storage, 2xFH/HL PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and 1xPCIe 5.0 x16 OCP v3.0 LAN mezzanine slot for various add-on card options, and 2xNVMe M.2 22110/2280 slots for internal boot drive installation.

Thunder CX GC68A-B7136 front and rear

Thunder CX GC68A-B7136, on the other hand, is the other dual-socket server platform for intermediate server use cases. It features 16xDIMM slots with DDR5-5600 memory support, 8xNVMe U.2 + 4x2.5″ SATA hot-swap, tool-less drive bays, 2xFH/HL PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, PCIe 5.0 x16 OCP v3.0 LAN mezzanine slot and 2xNVMe M.2 2280 slots.

Tempest HX S5652 motherboard

In addition to server systems, the company provides upgraded motherboard solutions based on the 5th gen Xeon Scalable processor. For compact single-socket motherboards, consider the Tempest HX S5652 – an AI server board designed for deploying multiple GPU cards. As for dual-socket solutions, the firm offers both Tempest CX S7136 and Tempest HX S7130. The Tempest CX S7136 is a rack-optimized server board built for 1U/2U deployment, while the Tempest HX S7130 is the mainstream option in the EEB form factor.
