Supermicro Unveils Quad-Core Quad-Processor Servers

September 06, 2007

Energy-efficient 1U, 2U & 4U SuperServers deliver
breakthrough performance-per-watt(1) with new Quad-Core
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 7300 Series


    SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application optimized, high performance server solutions,
today announced availability of the industry's first line
of quad-core, quad-processor servers.  Supermicro's new
8015C-T, 8025C-3R and 8045C-3R SuperServers feature a
larger memory footprint, improved energy efficiency and
more form factors and CPU SKUs to choose from for better
application optimization compared to previous generation
quad-processor servers based on Intel(R) Xeon processors.

    "With Supermicro's industry-leading
high-efficiency Super SSI (Server System Infrastructure)
architectural advances and CPU innovations around power
consumption and memory capacity, we are able to deliver
exceptional value to customers looking for consolidation
and virtualization," asserts Charles Liang, president
and CEO of Supermicro.  "Our 1U, 2U and 4U
SuperServers based on the new Intel 7300 (Clarksboro)
chipset provide compelling solutions for the dense rack
segment, especially when equipped with Intel's new
mainstream 80-watt or low-voltage 50-watt quad-core
processors."

    "The Intel(R) Core Microarchitecture combined with
Intel's quad core technology are again delivering record new
levels of industry performance and energy efficiency, this
time for four processor systems.  It's exciting to see
Supermicro aggressively taking advantage of the new
Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 7300 Series across such a
broad new product line," said Kirk Skaugen, vice
president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. "Intel has
designed the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 7300 Series
to enhance virtualization and ease server consolidation,
deliver leading performance, and provide enterprise-level
reliability."
 
    "The Supermicro new quad-processor servers provide
more virtual machine headroom with double the processing
cores and double the memory capacity of previous
generation," said David Driggers, CTO of Verari
Systems. "With the new 50-watt processor options, we
can continue to enable energy efficient ultra-dense
deployments with large memory footprints and scalability to
empower our customers with greater productivity."

    Based on Supermicro's new X7QCE and X7QC3 serverboards,
the 8015C-T, 8025C-3R and 8045C-3R SuperServers all support
up to 192GB of fully buffered DDR2 667 or 533 MHz memory
via 24 DIMM slots (when equipped with 8G modules).  Great
for virtualization, this expanded memory capacity boosts
performance for a wide range of applications.

    With 90% power supply efficiency and optimal cooling
designs, these energy-efficient servers deliver
breakthrough performance-per-watt(1).  Ready for
next-generation 45nm processors, the performance boosting
features of these systems also include four dedicated
high-speed interconnects, quad-core processors with Intel
Core microarchitecture, and 64 MB snoop filter.  

    Supermicro offers new quad-processor SuperServers in
1U, 2U and 4U form factors for customers to choose from
that support the full range of Xeon 7300 (Caneland)
processor SKUs.  With performance optimized 130-watt, rack
and blade optimized 80-watt, and high-density rack and
blade optimized 50-watt SKUs, customers now have more
choices than ever before to select the server that is best
for their applications.

    Supermicro Server Building Block Solutions(R) offer
exceptional flexibility and outstanding feature advantages.
