2019/09/16
Complete lineup of record-breaking, configurable servers is designed for seamless scalability and intensive
computing workloads
KEY POINTS
ASUS holds a total of 246 top performance benchmarks across SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmark packages, as of August
1,
2019
ASUS ESC8000 G4 GPGPU server achieves SPEC performance benchmarks for the first time, receiving a record
high
of 67
ASUS RS720Q-E9 multi-node server is recognized as having the world’s faster computing performance for 2P
servers
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug 13, 2019 ASUS, a leading server systems, server motherboards, workstation and
workstation motherboards provider, today announced that a total of 246 world records have been set by its rack
servers, including GPGPU (general-purpose computing on graphics processing units) servers and multi-node servers. As
recorded by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) for benchmarks measuring computing-intensive
performance, ASUS dual-processor (2P) servers ESC8000 G4 and RS720Q-E9 achieved the highest scores for
compute-intensive applications, and the ASUS single-processor (1P) RS300-E10 server set 70 new best-performance
records. Each of the new, record-breaking configurable ASUS servers are designed to be highly scalable and to work
seamlessly for infrastructure visualization, data analysis, AI training workloads or any general computing
applications.
ASUS GPGPU server ESC8000 G4 achieves the world’s best
performance
ESC8000 G4 is a 4U GPGPU series 2P server with support for up to eight double-deck graphics cards for AI training,
high-performance computing (HPC), content creation, rendering, gaming, VR and AR, and professional visualization
applications. Its patented adaptable topology design allows it to automatically switch to single- or dual-root
topologies through ASMB9-iKVM, making it ideal for AI learning or High Performance Computing environments. ESC8000
G4 holds 64 world records for compute-intensive applications across SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmark packages SPECint
2017 rate and SPECfp 2017.
RS720Q-E9, a 2U4N high-density 2P server, set a record of 97 benchmarks for compute-intensive applications across
SPEC CPU® 2017 benchmarks packages SPECint 2017 rate and SPECfp 2017. RS720Q-E9 is designed for
processing-intensive environments such as data center and private cloud applications. It supports two to eight
processors (28 cores per processor) and 48 DIMMs for up to 6 TB of memory.
All ASUS servers that achieve the world-record 2P performance results are based on 1st and 2nd Generation
Intel® Xeon® scalable processors.
