This is the first cooler of the Redux series, to which Noctua transfers some models, making them cheaper for the mass market. It uses a familiar tower structure with 4 heat-conducting tubes, and you can get a second fan for an additional fee. Noctua has a Redux series, which eventually includes coolers and fans that seem to be no longer new, but are still in demand by the market. In fact, these are the same ordinary devices, but with a limited configuration and in a faded gray color, so if ...

We will test with the help of a garbage bag fans that are designed to emphasize the pronounced personality of your computer, especially if it is assembled in a snow-white case. The management of Noctua constantly claims in their interviews that RGB in fans is nonsense, and it is better to spend time developing something really unique in terms of design than to succumb to the general red-blue-green madness. Of course, it sounds beautiful, but Noctua could not ignore the trends in the field of ...

The good thing about the AMD EPYC 7000 platform is that a large number of PCI Express lanes are available to you in 1-socket format. This is a serious advantage for assembling a server with several GPUs, because the 1-processor layout allows you to assemble compact machines in the ATX form factor. The good thing about the AMD EPYC 7000 platform is that a large number of PCI Express lanes are available to you in 1-socket format. This is a serious advantage for building a server with several ...

When you look at how large companies are rowing everything that is bad in the world of protocols and network solutions, you do not immediately understand what is happening, so let's figure it out together. Over the past 2 years, large M&A deals have been going on in the world of server hardware, the most famous of which is the purchase by Nvidia chip maker of the Israeli Mellanox, the process of buying the ARM architecture developer by it. Intel is buying up technology developers in batches ...

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 ...

Today, hosters can place up to 1024 virtual machines on one machine, which allows them to dump, increasing their client base in a highly competitive environment. We'll explore why AMD's 64-core EPYC processors are at the heart of a new look at VDS. The data center market demonstrates double-digit growth y/y together with the incessant exponential growth of information on the Internet. Today, own “VDS-point in the cloud” has become as commonplace for modern active people as a credit card ...

Twice as fast as a Xeon of the same class, twice as cold and nearly twice as cheap. A Mini-ITX motherboard with one of the most mysterious processors in the modern world, ideal for a small node of a small company. I was looking forward to the opportunity to test AMD EPYC 3000, and here's why: EPYC 7000 series processors, both on the first generation core (Napples) and on the second generation (Rome), are a real hit and a breakthrough in the world of cloud computing and virtualization ... But ...

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 ...

Ordinary system administrators and large IT-directors, when it comes to AMD, sometimes ask completely childish questions, and we answer them. Existing stack compatibility, TCO reduction, performance and support issues. Consider a typical situation: in your company, it’s time to expand your data center, or replace outdated equipment, and your supplier suggests that you consider a server on an AMD EPYC (ROME) processor. It does not matter whether you have already made a decision or are just ...

To successfully return to the server market, AMD decided to unify production as much as possible, linking together the principles of the Zen microarchitecture, the ideology of the chip and the final Assembly of processors Chapter 1. Architecture and production strategy This material is the second article in a series of analytical reviews on the server AMD strategy, its processors, technologies and overall server “ecosystem”. To successfully return to the server market, AMD needed to optimize ...
