Powered by AMD EPYC™ 7003 and 7002 series processors

AMD EPYC™ 7003 and 7002 are the world’s first 7nm data center designs supporting PCI ^Express® 4.0 x86 server processor can provide 2 times the performance and 4 times the floating point computing power. Supporting up to 64 cores, 128 threads, 8 channels of DDR4 3200, 128 PCle 4.0 channels and 280 W thermal design power (TDP), this processor also has memory and virtualization encryption functions to ensure absolute security .

PCIe 4.0 expansion

^PCle® 4.0 provides twice the bandwidth of PCle 3.0, reaching 16GT/s, while providing lower power consumption, better channel scalability and downward compatibility. ASUS ESC4000A-E11 is equipped with up to 11 PCIe 4.0 slots to support various graphics cards, storage devices and network applications, such as HBA/RAID, NIC and InfiniBand (IB) cards.

Supports GPU and FPGA

ESC4000A-E11 has a powerful GPU architecture, supporting up to four dual-socket or eight single-socket GPUs in a 2U rack, including ^NVIDIA® A100 and AMD Instinct™ MI100 accelerometers to meet the needs of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) and safely execute workloads in virtual environments. ESC4000-E10 is also a Xilinx Alveo certified server, providing optimal acceleration for workloads in hybrid cloud environments such as financial computing, machine learning, computing storage, and data search and analysis.
