Upgraded Wild Six Screen Mobile Workstation with 192 EPYC Cores and 3TB DDR5
Mediaworkstations has given the a-X2P a well-deserved improve. The brand new mannequin comes with a pair of AMD EPYC 9654 processors with a mixed 192 cores and 384 threads and 3TB of DDR5 reminiscence.
Technically, the a-X2P could also be a laptop computer, however most individuals take into account it a plug-in or moveable laptop. Concerning aesthetics, Mediaworkstations has stayed true to the identical design because the earlier a-X2P. Nonetheless, the 2023 mannequin has gained some weight, so it is a bit chubbier than the earlier installment. The cellular workstation now measures 16.35 x 24.6 x 10.6 inches, as an alternative of the 15.10 x 23.10 x 9.03-inch footprint of the earlier model. The upgraded mannequin additionally weighs between 45 and 55 lb and is as much as 13% heavier than earlier than.
The a-X2P’s most important improve resides logically below the hood. It took benefit of AMD’s EPYC 7002 (Roman) processors present in Zen 2 cores from two years in the past. Nonetheless, Mediaworkstations has skipped the EPYC 7003 (Milan) sequence and moved straight to the EPYC 9004 (Genoa) sequence, so the a-X2P makes use of AMD’s newest Zen 4 cores. Along with architectural enhancements, Genoa affords system integrators a variety of choices ranging from 16 cores to 96 cores. Moreover, shoppers can select to equip the a-X2P with a number of EPYC 9654 chips for a most 192 core configuration.
Media workstations didn’t share the twin socket SP5 motherboard mannequin. Nonetheless, contemplating the specs, the a-X2P is most definitely utilizing the Gigabyte MZ73-LM1. The motherboard supplies 24 DDR5 reminiscence slots supporting DDR5-4800 3DS RDIMMs as much as 256GB. Media workstations supply as much as 3TB, which is seemingly half the utmost capability on the motherboard.
Though Genoa helps the most recent PCIe 5.0 interface, Mediaworkstations have chosen to stay with PCIe 4.0. Gigabyte’s MZ73 is available in PCIe 5.0 (MZ73-LM0) and PCIe 4.0 (MZ73-LM1) variants. a-X2P helps the latter, so it supplies solely 4 PCIe 4.0 x16 enlargement slots instantly linked to the EPYC processor. Media workstations enable shoppers to equip the a-X2P with as much as two graphics playing cards. Nonetheless, you possibly can at all times purchase the cellular workstation and purchase your graphics, so it is an incredible gadget for multitasking.
The a-X2P has a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot to accommodate an M.2 2280 or M.2 22110 drive. PCIe 5.0 SSDs are out of the equation. A single M.2 slot could sound skimpy, however the a-X2P makes use of a server motherboard, so it has extra storage choices than meets the attention. The motherboard supplies one SlimSAS 4i connector with 4 SATA III ports and two SlimSAS 8i connectors with 4 PCIe 4.0 or 16 SATA III ports.
Aspeed AST2600 administration controller is positioned in MZ73-LM1. The controller pairs dual-core Arm Cortex A7 with embedded Arm Cortex M3 and helps 1920×1200 at 60Hz. When it comes to connectivity, the a-X2P has two excessive velocity 10Gbps Base-T LAN ports and one MLAN port from Broadcom BCM57416. Nonetheless, the dearth of wi-fi connectivity is a disappointment on condition that Mediaworkstations is selling the a-X2P as a cellular workstation. As for rear I/O, shoppers get two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one VGA port and one COM port.
It does not take a rocket scientist to know that a-X2P has ordered a king’s ransom. Mediaworkstations doesn’t publicly share pricing for the a-X2P. A single 96-core EPYC 9654 chip retails for US$11,805, so you possibly can guess how a lot the 2 would price, along with 3TB of costly DDR5 reminiscence and 6 shows.
