Server Processors: The Core of a Server’s Performance
How do server processors work? In which ways are they different from the processors used in personal computers? Which processors should you choose for your servers? GIGABYTE Technology, an industry leader in server solutions that support the most advanced processors, is pleased to present our latest Tech Guide. We will go over the fundamentals of server processors, compare the differences between various types of processors, and then present GIGABYTE products that may help you achieve your goals with the CPUs most suitable for your needs.
What is a Server Processor?
How is a Server Processor Different from a PC Processor?
The difference between server processors and PC processors comes down to the kind of work they do. A server processor must handle a lot of data and serve a lot of users, which is why it must be highly reliable, provide enterprise-grade CPU caches and multiple CPU sockets. A PC processor handles less data and serves fewer users, so the requirements are not as high.
What Affects the Performance of a Server Processor? Core, Thread, Clock Speed
The number of cores, threads, and the clock rate are the three criteria that affect the performance of a server processor. While the general rule of thumb is “more and bigger is better”, it comes down to the work you intend to do with your servers.
GIGABYTE Offers Server Solutions for Different Processors
If you are looking for ARM processors that follow the RISC ISA, GIGABYTE Technology offers server products powered by Ampere® Altra® and Ampere® Altra® Max CPUs. If you need x86 processors that follow the CISC ISA, you cannot go wrong with GIGABYTE servers that support Intel® Xeon® Scalable or AMD EPYC™ CPUs.

CSR and ESG in Action: GIGABYTE Helps NCKU Train Award-Winning Supercomputing Team
GIGABYTE Technology is not only a leading brand in high-performance server solutions—it is also an active force for good when it comes to CSR and ESG activities. Case in point: in 2020, GIGABYTE provided four G482-Z50 servers to Taiwan’s Cheng Kung University. The servers were used to train a team of talented students, who went on to take first place in that year’s APAC HPC-AI Competition in Singapore. The parallel computing performance of the servers’ processors, the seamless connectivity between the servers, and the servers’ unrivalled reliability are the reasons why GIGABYTE servers are ideal for educating the next generation of supercomputing experts. GIGABYTE is happy to give back to society and contribute to human advancement through high tech solutions.

Silicon Valley Startup Sushi Cloud Rolls Out Bare-metal Services with GIGABYTE
The Silicon Valley startup Sushi Cloud is competing in the public cloud sector by providing “bare-metal” services that give users exclusive access to individual, standalone servers on the cloud, resulting in a triple boost to performance, versatility, and reliability. Sushi Cloud purchased GIGABYTE’s R152-Z30 Rack Servers to offer its clients the state-of-the-art performance of AMD EPYC™ CPUs; the versatility afforded by superb memory and storage capacities, in addition to OS and software ecosystem compatibility; and GIGABYTE’s proprietary high availability features (such as SCMP and dual ROM) and remote management functions (such as GIGABYTE Management Console and GIGABYTE Server Management).
