ASUS RS720A-E12-RS12 Socket SP5 Rack (2 U) Noir, Acier

PCIe 5.0 Ready
Faster storage, graphics and networking capabilities
PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 delivers 32GT/s bandwidth, which is twice the speed of PCIe 4.0, and offers lower power consumption, better land scalability and backwards compatibility. ASUS servers are PCIe 5.0 ready with scalability design to satisfy the increasing workloads for modern data center.

AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors
The 9004 Series EPYC CPUs amplifies the AMD history of x86 architecture innovations and record-breaking performance with next generation 5nm technology as well as introducing support for high performant DDR5 DIMMs and fast PCIe® Gen 5 I/O. EPYC 9004 CPUs support 12 memory channels with 2 DIMMs/channel capability, delivering the resources needed for memory hungry AI, ML, HPC, and large in-memory computations.

CPU-balanced Architecture
The new AMD EPYC 9004 processors excel at providing full features and functionality for both dual-socket and single-socket platforms, but our new servers ASUS is introducing an CPU-balanced architecture to enable secure and optimal CPU-performance efficiency.

This architecture extends the full bandwidth to either dual- or single-CPU configurations, enabling more computing capability and much-improved overall power efficiency for compute-intensive workloads. This architecture allows customers to take full advantage of bandwidth capabilities of the dual-CPU architecture with a single CPU, while offering the flexibility to upgrade later with the addition of a second CPU.
* Features, specification and design vary by models and configuration.

World Records Leadership
ASUS holds the most amount of records in dual-socket (2P) and single-socket (1P) on SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark and dominate the computing performance. These top performance results provide a useful insight into compute-intensive workloads on different computer systems, enabling our customers to reduce complexity, tackle challenging workloads and accelerate system validations.

ASUS servers feature Performance Boost technology to achieve the best server performance and agility by tuning servers to match the requirements of workloads, letting you gain greater control of your server environment. This technology improves workload throughput by maximizing processor frequency and boost power, ideal for timesensitive applications such as financial services or data center operations.

Core Optimizer
Maximizes the processor frequency in multi-core operations, avoiding frequency shifting for reduced latency.

Engine Boost
Automatic power acceleration with an innovative voltage design to increase server overall performance.

Workload Presets
Preconfigured BIOS server profiles based on workloads and benchmarks for improved performance and efficiency.

ASUS select servers achieved most power efficiency positions on the SPEC Power benchmark for energy efficiency and demonstrate to customers how they can achieve faster deployments and higher energy efficiency for their IT infrastructure.

ASUS Power Balancer
Adjust overall loading automatically based on real-time monitoring to decrease overall power consumption for Improved efficiency and cost/performance optimization.

Thermal Radar 2.0
Features intelligent fan-curve adjustments to fit the real-time server usage patterns and lower fan power consumption.

Scalable Storage Solution
This server features scalable storage solutions to support maximum performance for data center flexibility, and enable industry-standard SAS/SATA/NVMe interfacing through Broadcom Tri-Mode RAID adapters for increased connectivity and security.

Accelerating performance for AI workloads
Up to four dual-slot GPUs
This server features multiple PCIe 5.0 slots to meet the demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, including supporting up to four dual-slot active or passive GPUs, and Xilinx Alveo accelerators. The scalable configurations in one 2U system provide optimized acceleration for workloads across cloud and on-premises data centers, and for hybrid cloud environments in financial computing, machine learning, computational storage, and data search and analytics.
* The total number of NVMe drives installed will affect the total number of GPUs that can be installed.
* FPGA Xilinx verification is available on request.
* Refer to GPU compatible list by models.
