Each core is designed as a single thread. The Ampere Altra has 80 cores with a base frequency of 2.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.3 GHz. ARM CPUs belong to the group of RISC processors. The Ampere Altra is a CPU based on the ARM Neoverse N1 platform. Gigabyte ARM Servers with Ampere Altra CPU Redundant power supply with 400W - Dual 1200W power supplies.Up to 24x hot-swap option for HDDs and SSDs between 2.5 - 3.5in.SFP+/QSFP+ - ports for high data throughput and low latency.Up to 48 cores per chip with ARMv8 processor architecture thanks to SoC (server-on-a-chip).Cavium ThunderX / Cavium ThunderX2 ARM processors.These ARM servers also offer a multitude of interfaces, comprehensive memory capacity and bandwidth, virtualized processor cores, and many other features.ĭepending on the model, the Gigabyte ARM servers excel thanks to these specifications: A SoC CPU (server on a chip) is used, which bundles many ARM processor cores in a small space. Gigabyte ARM servers with licensed Cavium ThunderX CPU - processing advantage with SoC using a high density of processor coresįor its ARM servers, Gigabyte relies on licensed ARM processors by Cavium. Therefore, they can be replaced at a lower cost in case of failures.ĪRM processors can be used both in large tower servers and as ARM servers in a 1U chassis. Cost-effective replacing of ARM processorsĪRM processors are particularly powerful in mass computing and less complex than other processors.Unlike the x86 processor architecture, an ARM server can mix and process 64 and 32-bit workloads. Shared workload with 64 and 32-bit architecture.This means that ARM servers do not need to be cooled as extensively as other models. Instead of using additional computing power from individual cores, the computing power is provided by a significantly larger number of cores.īy splitting the workload over a large number of cores, energy consumption per chip is reduced.
In particular, for operators of large server farms and data centers, ARM servers represent a viable alternative to Intel's x86 processors (including Intel Xeon) and AMD:Īn ARM processor with 64-bit architecture is much more efficient and economical than x86 processors such as the Intel Xeon. With the 64-bit microarchitecture ARMv8, developed in 2012, several ARM servers are available on the market. Today, ARM processors can be found everywhere in everyday life, even though they were mainly used in embedded systems, game consoles, and smartphones for a long time.
