Review of Lenovo ThinkEdge SE50 and SE30-industrial and peripheral PCs based on Core i7 with passive cooling

These are universal computers that can simultaneously be used in production, at peripheral facilities, and are equally well suited for PC-controlled equipment, for building control rooms, laboratories, and engineering workplaces. No moving parts concept, 4G/LTE support with eSIM, DIN rail mount and RS232 ports. The development of robotics and automation of workplaces today has led to the fact that the OT industry (short for operational technologies), which includes a system for receiving ...

Threadripper vs. EPYC: testing three AMD 32-core processors in server applications

32 cores is where you can still get by with a 1 VMware socket license, and therefore the processor must be the fastest in the world! We will test 6 server applications, including 1C Enterprise, MySQL and NGINX, to choose the best! After the recent decision by VMware to change the licensing policy of Its ESXi hypervisor by accepting a limit of 32 physical cores per 1 processor socket, the 32-core milestone has become the front line where AMD reigns Supreme, and if today you choose a 32-core ...

What factors should be used to choose the server processor?

Why when choosing a processor, do not pay attention to the price per core or the price per Watt, but rather use the cost of a Megahertz with HT disabled and using Turbo Boost? Here's how it used to be good: for servers, there was a single Pentium Pro processor, which you didn't need to choose. With the advent of multi-core processors, it became clear that the more computing blocks, the better, but only until marketers stepped in and pided one CPU into ten sockets with ten cache options and ...

How water displaces air in Lenovo supercomputers

A couple of years ago, the maximum air cooling limit was 600W per unit. Today, it is theoretically possible to divert up to 1.2 kW per unit using air. However, in the future, you will need to allocate 2 KW, and you can't do without liquid cooling. Today, there is a steady trend to extract the maximum power from each computing unit of the data center. Users want to see more and more local disk storage inside data center nodes, and circulatory data transfer systems that combine cluster ...

Review of ASRock Rack E3C242D4U2-2T motherboard for budget office server

Practically, when you need a solution for a host running a security gateway, a 1C server and a Kubernetes node, you can even give up ECC memory in favor of Core i5, Core i3 and even Pentium Gold. In general, where a high frequency is needed in single-threaded loads, it is often not enough unless a normal motherboard We love powerful 48-core processors, but not every customer is willing to pay for such capacity: even among modern companies with hybrid infrastructure (local + remote cloud), ...

Intel Xeon D-1600 processor family

Intel has updated the Broadwell-DE series of embedded processors for Edge applications. First of all, the frequency of each of the cores has increased, support for 4 10GBe network controllers has appeared and the performance of QAT technology has increased. We first got acquainted with the Broadwell-DE series processors in 2015. Now, four years after the initial release of this series of SoCs, Intel is releasing the 1600 Xeon D processor line, and in this article, we will discuss what's new ...

Review of Cooler Master Wraith Ripper for workstations on Threadripper. Comparison with LSS on a 250 Watt CPU!

If you are looking for a powerful workstation based on a 32-core AMD processor, then the issue of cooling should be especially important for you. In this review, using the Threadripper gaming processor cooler as an example, we'll talk about what can cool the ardor of 250-watt monsters AMD Threadripper and EPYC processors for the SP3 socket differ from other CPUs in their huge size, and therefore require the cooler to cover the entire surface of the processor, evenly removing heat from all ...
