Ampere® Altra® Max Processor | Cloud Native Server Processors

Ampere's Altra® family of processors are designed to deliver on predictable performance, high scalability and power efficiency. Ampere's leadership on all these metrics deliver exceptional results and lower the TCO for Cloud Service Providers.

Why Ampere® Altra® Max based Server? | Performance Boost

Up to 80 /128 cores and 128 PCIe lanes demand data to be processed quickly and more jobs at the same time.

Architecture Efficiency

Designed for Cloud and Edge (cloud ecosystem native platform) and provides a high number of computing cores, faster throughput, and low power consumption.

Aggregate Powerhouse

Provides a management tool for cloud and edge to simplify management and improve efficiency.

Superhighway of Data

Utilizing the latest in PCIe 4.0 and 128 PCIe lanes allows faster throughput in GPUs, storage and networking.

Green Savings

Best in class performance/watt, Ampere® Altra® continues to increase value while driving down TCO.

Cooperation

GIGABYTE has developed with Arm systems for almost 10 years. Servers will be ready with fast TTM and product offerings.

Hardware Security | Hardware-level Root of Trust (RoT)

Protection is built in the silicon to ensure systems will not be vulnerable to security attacks or cyber threats. This ROT helps isolate the system as the boot process starts to verify cryptographic operations and ensures the firmware is not compromised by malware.

Optional TPM 2.0 Module

For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. GIGABYTE TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.

Power Efficiency | Automatic Fan Speed Control

GIGABYTE servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.

Cold Redundancy

To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher load, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with N+1 power supplies. When the total system load falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, and results of 10% improvement in efficiency.
