Dell is expanding its AI capabilities with new PowerEdge servers that use powerful AMD processors
- Dell is expanding its line of PowerEdge servers to help with AI workloads
- By integrating AMD processors, some solutions offer major efficiency gains
- New servers will be available for purchase soon
Dell aims to meet the growing need for scalable, flexible and high-performance infrastructure with a new PowerEdge server portfolio.
By integrating the latest AMD EPYC 5th Generation processors and advanced cooling systems, Dell provides enterprises with the tools needed to stay competitive.
The PowerEdge
PowerEdge servers for enterprise AI workloads
One of the new offerings is the Dell PowerEdge It comes in a 4U air-cooled chassis and is specifically designed for AI inference, model refinement and high-performance computing (HPC). The server also features eight additional Gen 5.0 PCIe slots for network connectivity.
Additionally, the PowerEdge R6725 and R7725 servers also use AMD 5th Generation EPYC processors and offer greater scalability for enterprises. Dell claims that the R7725 server is optimized to handle high workloads and can deliver a 66% performance improvement and a 33% efficiency improvement at the higher end of the performance spectrum.
All three of these platforms can support up to 50% more cores, with a reported 37% performance increase per core. These performance upgrades provide businesses with the ability to consolidate legacy infrastructure, reducing the need for multiple servers and reducing CPU power consumption by up to 65%.
Dell has also introduced the PowerEdge R6715 and R7715 servers, both powered by AMD’s 5th generation EPYC processors. These servers provide even greater efficiency gains and offer up to 37% more disk capacity, increasing storage density. These single-socket servers support various configurations, with up to 24 DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) to maximize performance.
Dell Technologies will continue to support the latest AMD Instinct accelerators and IT teams will also benefit from the updated Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). A key addition is Dell Generative AI Solutions with AMD, which integrates the PowerEdge (RAG), where these systems shorten the time. value up to 86%.
Additionally, the Dell Enterprise Hub on Hugging Face now supports the PowerEdge XE9680 server, simplifying deployment of models like Llama and Mixtral. These models are optimized to improve AI inference performance and leverage Hugging Face’s Text Generation Inference (TGI) back-end.
“By integrating AMD technology into the latest Dell servers, AI solutions and services through the Dell AI Factory, we are delivering the performance and efficiency businesses need today and into the future,” said Arthur Lewis, president of Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies.
“Together with AMD, we are setting new standards in AI performance, providing businesses with powerful and cost-effective solutions essential for modern data-driven environments,” concludes Lewis.
