At the RISC-V Summit 2018 we saw a Western Digital NAS powered by SiFive, Microsemi, and RISC-V. This is an early development prototype but shows where RISC-V may be headed
Proxmox VE 5.3 is out with some major new features. CephFS now has integration with Proxmox VE hyper-converged clusters. There is a new storage GUI for creating and adding ZFS to the cluster. PCIe pass-through is enabled via a GUI. All of these small features increase the addressable market for Proxmox
With 24GB of GDDR6 memory, the new Turing architecture with Tensor core support, and NVLink support for a second GPU, the NVIDIA Titan RTX launch is one highly anticipated by AI and deep learning researchers. It is less expensive than its Titan V predecessor to boot
We have details on the newly launched Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd2 server that fits 24 or 26 3.5" LFF hard drives in a 2U form factor along with Intel Xeon Scalable processors and a number of rear I/O configuration options
In our AMD EPYC 7371 review, we show how this frequency optimized processor is now the fastest 16 core CPU. We will also show why this part is set to change the narrative of AMD EPYC versus Intel Xeon (Skylake-SP) in a market shifting manner.
Mew Gigabyte G191-H44 servers fit four PCIe x16 GPUs in a 1U form factor for dense HPC compute scenarios. These servers offer maximum bandwidth from hosts to PCIe cards like the NVIDIA Tesla V100
As we saw in NYC several weeks ago, the Synology RackStation RS1619xs+ is a 1U 4-bay Intel Xeon D server that seeks to combine storage with edge compute and virtualization capabilities
Our Gigabyte H261-Z60 server review tests a next-generation 2U4N platform. This 2U 4-node AMD EPYC server is targeted at dense compute deployments. We test the server with 256 core and 512 threads to see how it performs versus four 1U servers
Our take on the AWS A1 Arm CPU instance announcement. We put performance numbers and context around the AWS Graviton processors to show where it fits in the ecosystem and the implications
Our Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 2U server review finds an enormously flexible system with configuration options galore. Our thorough review shows the good points and what can be improved along with how the SR650 differentiates itself in a crowded market.
