Supermicro introduces new 3U server for AI, Edge applications

Supermicro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) introduced a new 3U Edge AI server that supports up to 18 GPUs and features Dual Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores on Tuesday.

Supermicro slid 5% during early Tuesday market action. This follows a nearly 16% increase on Monday.

“As the AI market is growing exponentially, customers need a powerful, versatile solution to inference data to run LLM-based applications on-premises, close to where the data is generated,” said Supermicro CEO Charles Liang. “Our new 3U Edge AI system enables them to run innovative solutions with minimal latency.”

The new SYS-322GB-NR includes two Intel Xeon 6900 processors with P-cores, 8800 MT/s MRDIMM and up to 20 PCIe 5.0 expansion slots. The system supports single or double-width GPUs, or to use some of the expansion slots for high-performance I/O or other add-on cards. The server also features up to 6TB of RDIMM memory and up to 14 E1.S or 6 U.2 NVMe drives.

The new servers follow Monday’s news that Supermicro had recently deployed more than 100,000 GPUs with its liquid cooling solution system for some of the largest AI factories, as well as other cloud service providers.
