GIGABYTE Product Line

New AMD EPYC TM Family of Processors - Same Great SP5 Platform

The SP5 socket has reached its pinnacle form with 5th Generation AMD EPYC TM processors. The same successful platform that was shared by AMD EPYC TM 9004 and 8004 series processors is now the same one for AMD EPYC TM 9005 series processors. With up to 192 cores, increased frequencies and cache, this top tier performance platform targets general purpose, cloud native, and technical computing.

Building on the advantages of the EPYC TM 9004 series, the new EPYC TM 9005 series adopts the 3nm process with AMD "Zen5" and "Zen5c" core architecture, excelling in both energy efficiency and cost optimization. GIGABYTE has already prepared for this new processor with new servers and updates to existing products for 4th Gen AMD EPYC TM processors.

High Performance

Support Various Computing Accelerators

GIGABYTE servers have been tested and validated across a range of workloads with various computing accelerators designed to deliver high levels of performance for 3D rendering, deep learning and high-performance computing, which enables content creators, data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.

GPU Computing Accelerators
TPM 2.0 Module

Hardware Security

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

Server Management

GIGABYTE Management Console

GIGABYTE servers use a specialized management console that provides real-time monitoring and control through a web-based interface. It allows IT administrators to manage hardware health, fan speeds, and power consumption remotely.
