Renaissance AMD! EPYC on HPE DL385 Gen10
After a long pause, AMD confidently returns to the market of server processors with the new architecture of EPYC.
The first HPE server on the new processors was the HPE DL385 Gen10, which received two world records in the SPECrate2017_fp_base and SPECrate2017_fp_peak (floating point operations) tests.

Technical features of AMD EPYC processors and DL385 Gen10 servers:
Up to 32 cores per processor (AMD EPYC 7601 2.2GHz / T3.2GHz / 32-core / 64MB / 180W)
No chipset – System on Chip (SoC) design – The motherboard of the server does not contain chipsets, all the necessary interaction modules are built right into the processor. This allows you to improve the server’s energy efficiency, save space on the board, and accommodate up to 32 DIMMs. HPE engineers named the “design” of motherboards under AMD EPYC the best on the market.
Up to 4TB of memory on the server (32 x 128 GB LRDIMM @ 2666 MHz).
8 memory channels per processor running at 2666 MT / s
128 PCIe 3.0 lines on the server, which can be connected to a 24 x NVMe SSD or 5 x GPU
Under the cover of the processor are four crystals, which are combined high-speed data bus. This tire does not delay the data exchange process. This approach allows you to reduce the amount of defect and reduce the cost of the processor compared to single crystal solutions.
Secure ARM Core is an independent ARM kernel that prevents the use of rootkits and bootkits that run malicious code before the OS boot.
