Arm Agi CPU powers Supermicro Agentic AI support

The systems are in 2U and 5U form factors. These deliver high core density, expanded memory capacity, and flexible I/O for energy-efficient, scalable agentic AI infrastructure, says the company.

Compact 2U Server

The compact 2U server features an Arm AGI CPU with 64, 128, or 136 Arm Neoverse V3 cores.

There are 24 DIMM slots, for up to 6TB of DDR5 memory. And also eight front hot-swap 2.5″ NVMe drive bays

Expanded 5U server

The expanded 5U server fearures an Arm AGI CPU with 64, 128, or 136 Arm Neoverse V3 cores.

Again there are 24 DIMM slots, for up to 6TB of DDR5 memory, with eight front hot-swap 2.5″ NVMe drive bays.

There are also additional PCIe lanes for increasing the number of GPUs, for “an I/O rich” configuration:

• 8 PCIe 5.0 x16 DW-FHFL slots
• 4 PCIe 5.0 x16 FHFL slots
• 1 PCIe 6.0 x16 FHFL slot
• 1 PCIe 5.0 x8 AIOM slot

DCBBS

“Supermicro continues to advance its DCBBS with an expanded portfolio of Arm-based platforms and OCP systems for next-gen AI and HPC, said Charles Liang, president and CEO.

“With high-density, liquid-cooled systems and energy-efficient Arm architectures, we enable scalable, flexible data centers that maximize performance-per-watt and accelerate AI adoption across cloud and enterprise environments.”

Arm Agi CPU

Arm announced the Arm Agi CPU processor in March, its first production silicon proprietary CPU. It sits, in the integration hierarchy, between Arm’s IP portfolio and its Compute Subsystems products.

Arm claims it delivers more than two-times performance per rack compared with x86 platforms.

“The rapid growth of AI is reshaping infrastructure requirements across the data center,” said Mohamed Awad, Executive Vice President, Cloud AI Business Unit, Arm.

“Arm AGI CPU-based platforms, built on Arm Neoverse technology, provide the foundation for this new generation of compute, and our collaboration with Supermicro brings these capabilities to market in flexible, high-density systems optimised for modern AI and cloud environments.”

ORv3

Supermicro has also released new Open Compute Project (OCP) ORv3-compliant rack offerings.

Described as high-density liquid-cooled systems to accelerate HPC and AI workloads, they include a 2U GPU system, compatible with 21-inch OCP ORv3 racks.

This features dual Intel Xeon 6 6700 series processors with P-cores, a 1400A busbar with power shelves, and DC-SCM (Datacenter Secure Control Module) support.

Supermicro says the system integrates the NVIDIA HGX B300 8-GPU platform with 5th Generation NVLink. This is to deliver the compute density and bandwidth required for large-scale AI deployments.
