TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 27, 2026 – Advantech has launched server and network platforms built on AMD’s EPYC 9006 series, bringing 2nm silicon and up to 128 cores to AI workloads at the edge and in the data center.
Built with “Zen 6” and “Zen 6c” architecture variants, the processors scale to 256 threads. AMD claims up to 20% average generational performance uplift and 20% performance-per-watt improvement over the previous generation.
Key specifications:
- Up to 128 cores / 256 threads with “Zen 6” and “Zen 6c” architecture
- 2nm process technology
- Up to 20% average generational performance uplift and 20% performance-per-watt improvement
- DDR5-8000 and MRDIMM 12.8G support
- PCIe Gen6: up to 128 lanes for 1 CPU, up to 196 lanes for 2 CPUs
- CXL 3.1 support for memory expansion
Advantech’s first-wave portfolio includes six platforms:
- SKY-642E5 – 4U MGX GPU server for large-scale AI acceleration
- SKY-722E5 – 2U DC-MHS server with DC-SCM support for modular data center and edge AI deployments
- SKY-712E5 – 1U DC-MHS server supporting HHHL and FH-3/4L expansion cards for high-density enterprise edge and cloud workloads
- SKY-822E5 – 2U short-depth DC-SCM modular server supporting 2 to 3 dual-slot GPU cards for space-constrained edge data centers
- SKY-924E5F – 2U 4-node front-access server for distributed edge computing
- ASMB-982 and ASMB-832 – Server boards for flexible, high-expandability system designs
The platforms support PCIe Gen6, GPU-optimized architectures, DDR5 and MRDIMM memory, and E1.S/E3.S NVMe SSD storage.
Advantech also introduced the FWA-6084, a 2U network appliance for network security and edge AI workloads. It includes DDR5 and MRDIMM memory capability, eight Gen6 network module cards, and one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot for GPU or add-on card expansion. It supports line-speed multiple 200G network workloads.
