Linux kernel and Git creator Linus Torvalds is known for his current use of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper workstation as his main system after years of using Intel hardware

How many cores is enough for server CPUs? All that we can get, and then some. For the past two decades, the game in compute engines has been to try to

Phoronix pitted the GH200 processor against its main rivals for CPU performance

Nvidia's DGX GH200 supercomputing platform packs 256 Grace Hopper GH200 superchips, where each chip combines a 72-core Arm-based Grace CPU and an H100 Tensor Core GPU. The...

Nvidias Grace CPU scored 13 wins against AMDs Genoa and Bergamo and 15 against Intels Xeon Platinum 8592+ in a review with 23 benchmarks.

Kicking off our NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper benchmarking at Phoronix is an initial look at the 72-core Grace CPU performance with 96GB of HBM3 memory.

The past two months I've been using the Gigabyte (Giga Computing) G242-P36 and it's been a refreshing delight for an ARM64 server platform running well with the mature Ampere Altra and Ampere Altra Max processors while boasting support for up to two GPUs and up to two DPUs or other PCIe adapters to make for a nice GPU/AI accelerated computing server. In the absence of AmpereOne servers being widely available and those next-generation Ampere processors just targeting above 128+ cores, t...

$1,500 is all you need to get an ASRock motherboard and one of Amperes 64-core Altra Q64-22.

While it's been three years now since Ampere Altra Q80 was first introduced and two years since first testing the 128-core Ampere Altra Max, this ARM server platform has aged rather well with more robust hardware platforms coming to market with better firmware, the AArch64 Linux/open-source software ecosystem as a whole improving a lot during this time and more open-source projects receiving ARM optimizations, and other improvements made.

Gigabyte (Giga Computing) recently sent over their G242-P36 HPC/AI Arm server platform built for Ampere Altra and Ampere Altra Max processors.
