Dell unveils servers based on 6th-gen AMD EPYC CPUs optimised for existing air-cooled data centres - 디지털투데이
Dell Technologies introduced two new server models, the PowerEdge R9825 and R9815, on Thursday, both powered by AMD's 6th-generation EPYC processors.
The new PowerEdge R9825 and R9815 servers are built on AMD's EPYC 9006 SP7 processors, which support up to 256 cores per socket and a configurable thermal design power of up to 600 watts.
The PowerEdge R9825 is a dual-socket 3U form factor designed for scale-up performance, while the PowerEdge R9815 is a single-socket 2U model aimed at maximising per-socket performance for server consolidation.
Designed for existing data centres
The systems are optimised for existing air-cooled data centre environments, allowing companies to implement high-performance computing while maintaining their current rack and facility infrastructure.
They can also be configured for Direct Liquid Cooling depending on the specific workload requirements.
As AI workloads increase, improving the performance and efficiency of ageing servers and minimising the operational burden on existing data centres are emerging as key tasks for companies.
Cost reduction and next steps
Dell emphasises that these new servers help reduce operating and software licensing costs by consolidating multiple workloads onto fewer systems.
The company stated that organisations handling a range of computing workloads, including AI inference, can use these products to modernise their computing infrastructure step by step.
