Supermicro Launches H15 Servers Powered by 6th Gen AMD EPYC
Supermicro introduces modular infrastructure designed for high-performance computing, cloud environments, and enterprise AI workloads.
www.supermicro.com
Supermicro has announced its next-generation H15 server portfolio, incorporating 6th Gen AMD EPYC 9006 Series CPUs, AMD Instinct GPUs, and AMD Pensando networking built on Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) architecture. The systems support up to 256 cores and 512 threads per processor, enabling data centers to execute concurrent AI agents and enterprise applications within existing power envelopes.
Portfolio Systems and Configurations
The H15 portfolio includes purpose-built systems tailored to specific operational demands:
- Hyper: A dual-socket flagship platform engineered for enterprise applications, AI inference, virtualization, and cloud workloads.
- CloudDC: Single- or dual-socket servers built on the Open Compute Project (OCP) Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) specification for cloud-scale environments.
- GrandTwin: A high-density 2U, four-node architecture designed for scale-out object storage, virtualization, and cloud services.
- FlexTwin: A liquid-cooled 1OU, two-node dual-CPU system maximizing compute density; a 48U rack implementation houses up to 168 EPYC 9006 CPUs and 43,008 cores.
- Petascale Storage: High-capacity 1U and 2U all-flash platforms supporting up to 4.8 PB per system for AI data lakes and software-defined storage.
- SuperBlade: An 8U 10 SuperBlade architecture supporting single- and dual-socket air- or liquid-cooled configurations for HPC and enterprise workloads.

The EPYC 9006 Series delivers a 1.7x generational CPU performance improvement based on SPECInt Rate 2017 results published by AMD, accompanied by 2x PCIe bandwidth and 2.6x higher memory bandwidth. To support intensive accelerator configurations, the AS-5126GS-TNRT and AS-5126GS-TNRT2 5U air-cooled servers support up to ten AMD Instinct MI350P GPUs featuring 144GB of HBM3e memory, with network connectivity driven via the AMD Pensando Pollara 400 AI NIC over standard Ethernet infrastructure. For expansive rack-scale AI architecture, the liquid-cooled Supermicro AMD Helios Platform integrates 72 AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, 6th Gen EPYC processors, Pensando networking, and the AMD ROCm software stack. Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Compute and Enterprise AI at AMD, noted that combining these processors, GPUs, and networking tools with modular server designs enables enterprises to deploy AI infrastructure faster while improving hardware utilization and lowering total cost of ownership.
