GIGABYTE Announces General Availability of AmpereOne Servers for Cloud-Native Workloads

October 3, 2024 – Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE and an industry leader in servers for x86 and ARM platforms as well as advanced cooling technologies, today announced its initial wave of GIGABYTE servers that support the full stack of AmpereOne family of processors.

Last year, AmpereOne processors were announced and there were GIGABYTE servers in support of the platform available for select customers.

Now, GIGABYTE servers have general availability with single and dual socket servers already in production, and more coming in late Q4. GIGABYTE servers for Ampere Altra and AmpereOne processors will be showcased at the GIGABYTE booth and Ampere pavilion at Yotta 2024 in Las Vegas on Oct. 7-9.

The AmpereOne family of processors, designed for cloud-native computing, features up to 192 custom designed Ampere cores, DDR5 memory, and 128 lanes of PCIe Gen5 per socket. Overall, this line of processors target cloud instances with incredible VM density to boot, all while excelling at performance per watt. Delivering more cores, more IO, more memory, more performance, and more cloud features, this full stack of CPUs has additional applications in AI inference, data analytics, and more.
