Supermicro announced early access availability of its X14 data center server family, which is designed to support the upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors.

“Supermicro is unmatched in its ability to design, build, validate and deliver fully customized, workload-optimized rack-scale solutions to our customers,” Supermicro CEO and President Charles Liang said. “Supermicro leads the industry in the design and delivery of a wide range of application-optimized solutions,” he touted.

The vendor can produce 5,000 racks per month — 1,350 of which are equipped with liquid cooling technology — with lead times as short as two weeks. “Our new X14 systems with the upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors will further expand our already broad range of offerings,” Liang said.

By combining Supermicro’s building block architecture and liquid cooling solutions with rack plug-and-play and Intel Xeon 6, the vendor is targeting all workloads at any scale. Intel Xeon 6 brings “a new level of workload performance and optimization,” according to Intel VP and GM of Xeon Products Ryan Tabrah. “Our strong partnership with Supermicro will help deliver the benefits of this new generation of processors to customers,” he said.

Qualified Supermicro customers will be able to implement the new systems early with free remote access for testing and validation through the vendor’s Early Ship and JumpStart programs.

The rack-scale X14 systems tap into the shared Intel platform to offer socket compatibility with the Intel Xeon 6 processor in a unified architecture. Intel’s processor portfolio will be available with Efficient-core (E-core) SKUs aimed at increasing performance-per-watt for cloud, analytics, networking and scale-out workloads, along with Performance-core (P-core) SKUs targeting a boost in performance-per-core for artificial intelligence (AI), (high performance computing (HPC)), storage and edge workloads.

Intel’s imminent Xeon 6 processors will also include Intel Accelerator Engines that support FP16 on Intel’s AMX accelerator. Supermicro’s X14 systems are equipped to handle up to 576 cores per node and the latest GPU accelerators.

To address and reduce the costs and energy consumption associated with data center thermal management, Supermicro’s X14 systems include various airflow cooling zones to optimize CPU and GPU performance in data center environments with temperatures up to 104° F.
