The Dell PowerEdge XE7745, which is designed for enterprise AI workloads. Supporting up to eight double-width or 16 single-width PCIe GPUs, they include AMD 5th Gen EPYC processors in a 4U air-cooled chassis. Built for AI inferencing, model fine-tuning, and high performance computing, the internal GPU slots are paired with eight additional Gen 5.0 PCIe slots for network connectivity.
The PowerEdge R6725 and R7725 servers, which are optimized for scalability with powerful AMD 5th generation EPYC processors. Also included is a new DC-MHS chassis design that enables enhanced air cooling and dual 500W CPUs, which help counteract difficult thermal challenges for power and efficiency, according to Dell.
The PowerEdge R6715 and R7715 servers with AMD 5th gen EPYC processors that provide increased performance and efficiency. These servers are available in various configuration options to meet diverse workload requirements.
The Dell PowerEdge XE7745 servers will be available globally starting in January 2025, while the Dell PowerEdge R6715, R7715, R6725 and R7725 servers will be available globally starting in November 2024, according to Dell.
Analyst Insights on the Latest Dell AMD PowerEdge Servers
Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told ChannelE2E that the new Dell server models equipped with the latest AMD EPYC processors will be useful for business users who are still scrambling to figure out how to offer AI services for their customers.
“The channel is trying to meet an overwhelming need for applied AI, and with these AMD solutions Dell is providing their channel with a set of solutions that should be well received,” said Enderle. “AMD has been doing some impressive AI work of late and their solutions have advantages in performance, value, and availability over their competitors. Dell, and others, are jumping on this AMD technology as they chase the promise of a lucrative AI future.”
At the same time, Dell “has historically been slow to adopt technology from non-Intel suppliers, which has allowed competitors like Lenovo who have been more aggressive to move around them,” said Enderle. “This time, Dell is … finally stepping up to these opportunities and executing in a timely way. Overall, this means that Dell is becoming far more competitive in the AI space.”
