GIGABYTE R263-P33-AAF1 Barebone - 2U - 1x LGA-5964 AmpereOne - 16x DDR5 - 4x 3.5" NVMe/SATA/SAS - 8x 3.5" SATA/SAS - 3x GPU - 2400 W Redundant PSU
Discovering New Levels of Core Dense Systems for Cloud
Once again, Ampere Computing pushes the envelope with CPU technology in its new range of in-house designed Arm-based processors, AmpereOne Family, with a CPU core count going beyond Ampere's prior gen that topped at 128 CPU cores. In this regard, there is no overlap with the preexisting product lines, Ampere Altra and Ampere Altra Max processors. This new generation of AmpereOne Family starts at 136 cores and goes up to 192 cores, completing the product line to fulfill every kind of application. While they don't have simultaneous multithreading (SMT) like x86 processors, the 1:1 ratio of cores to threads is more ideal for cloud-native workloads. Afterall, AmpereOne Family is squarely focused on cloud service providers.
AmpereOne Family is about more. More cores, more I/O, more memory, more performance, more cloud features, said Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer at Ampere. With our Ampere Custom Cloud Native Cores, this is the next step in the break from the constraints of legacy compute. No other CPU comes close. It is about cloud scale with the maximum performance per rack.

Advantages of AmpereOne Family | Predictable High Performance
192 single-threaded cores at a consistent 3.0GHz is ideal for cloud. Also, large private caching and memory management features for consistency.
Energy Efficiency
High CPU core count allows for dense computing and increases the number of cores per rack, and efficiently in GIGABYTE servers that are VM dense.
Power Efficient
192 Ampere cores running below 400W is a great achievement. Greater efficiency = reduces the carbon footprint and does within rack power constraints.
Power Efficiency | Automatic Fan Speed Control
GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.
Cold Redundancy
To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, resulting in a 10% improvement in efficiency.
High Availability | Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, GIGABYTE implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.
