AMDs EYPC line of processors are built for demanding server workloads, offering up to 96 cores with support for 12 DDR5 memory channels and 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. This server uses a pair of those CPUs to enable up to eight dual-width GPUs in a 4U rackmount chassis. Several hot-swap drive bays are easily accessible on the front, along with a pair of USB ports. Networking, VGA, and redundant power supplies are accessible from the back.
