Dense parallel compute
Up to 128 cores, boost frequencies up to 4.7 GHz and configurable power envelopes up to 500 W for highly consolidated environments.
Current-generation AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors deliver the core density, memory bandwidth and acceleration required by modern enterprise infrastructure.
Processor selection defines more than raw compute. Core count, clock speed, cache, memory channels, PCIe lanes and software licensing all shape application performance and total platform cost. SmartComm qualifies complete CPU, motherboard, memory and cooling combinations for sustained production operation.
Choose a platform around the workload profile rather than a single benchmark.
Up to 128 cores, boost frequencies up to 4.7 GHz and configurable power envelopes up to 500 W for highly consolidated environments.
Up to 60 cores, frequencies up to 4.1 GHz and thermal design power up to 350 W for established enterprise stacks.
Up to 1.1 GB of L3 cache per socket, with AVX-512 and VNNI acceleration for vector, analytics and AI-oriented instructions.
PCIe Gen5 connectivity and 12 to 16 DIMM slots per socket provide high bandwidth for accelerators, storage and large memory footprints.
Factor per-core software licensing, memory capacity, NUMA behavior, power headroom and expected utilization into the final decision.
| Profile | Recommended family | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Budget-conscious | AMD EPYC 7002 | Proven virtualization, general services and lifecycle extensions where acquisition cost leads. |
| Balanced enterprise | AMD EPYC 9004 9354 / 9654 | Modern consolidation, databases and mixed compute with strong core density and memory bandwidth. |
| High-end workstation | Intel Xeon w9 | Frequency-sensitive engineering, content creation and certified professional applications. |
AMD EPYC is the preferred direction when core density, memory bandwidth and consolidation economics dominate. Intel is compelling when single-thread performance, established platform certification or specific Intel-optimized software is the priority. We benchmark representative workloads before final sizing.
