GIGABYTE G291-Z20 GPU Server REVIEW

Today we are reviewing another AMD EPYC-powered system! Better yet, this system also supports up to eight dual-slot GPU cards with a single processor. I'm talking about the GIGABYTE G291-Z20 GPU Server, and if you're not very familiar with GIGABYTE products, it's probably because Dell, HPE and Lenovo have been very effective at their brand marketing. Or it means you have not had a need for any High-Performance Computing applications in which GIGABYTE excels. This is a 2U system with a single AMD processor that promises to deliver 2-socket performance for HPC applications in the datacenter. As a single-socket system, the GIGABYTE G291-Z20 GPU server has the potential to save you thousands of dollars while still delivering the goods, thanks to AMD's EPYC processors. What's this system good for? Your basic high-performance computing applications…real-time analytics, scientific simulation and modeling, engineering, visualization and rendering, and… Watch the video!!
