There are currently several X14 systems available to customers for remote testing and validation via Supermicro's JumpStart program.

The Supermicro X14 systems are available in a variety of form factors, each optimized for a range of performance-intensive workloads:

GPU-optimized supporting the latest generation of SXM and PCIe GPUs, featuring enhanced thermal capacities and direct-to-chip liquid cooling on some models.
High density multi-nodes including all-new FlexTwin™ and GrandTwin^® models as well as the proven, award-winning SuperBlade^® architecture.

These models leverage shared components to increase efficiency and can be fitted with direct-to-chip liquid cooling for maximum performance density.

Market-proven Supermicro Hyper rackmounts combine single or dual socket architectures with flexible I/O and storage configurations in traditional rackmount form factors to help enterprises and data centers scale up and out as their workloads evolve.

Supermicro's max-performance X14 systems support the Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores, which feature up to 128 performance cores per CPU, support for high bandwidth MRDIMMs up to 8800 MT/s, and built-in accelerators including the AI-specific Intel AMX.

The X14 systems represent the perfect building blocks for data centers at any scale, with Supermicro able to provide complete rack-level integration services including design, building, testing, validation, and delivery. An industry-leading global manufacturing capacity of up to 5,000 racks per month (2,000 liquid cooled) and extensive testing and burn-in facilities allow Supermicro to deliver solutions at any scale in a matter of weeks, not months. With Supermicro's complete in-house liquid-cooled direct-to-chip cold plate solutions, liquid cooling can be easily included in rack-level integrations to further increase system efficiency, reduce instances of thermal throttling, and lower both the TCO and Total Cost to Environment (TCE) of data center deployments. These turn-key solutions include the rack, cabling, power, and cooling infrastructure to simplify solution deployment at scale.

To maximize the performance and density potential of the latest X14 systems, Supermicro also offers complete in-house developed liquid cooling solutions including cold plates for CPUs, GPUs, memory, Cooling Distribution Units, Cooling Distribution Manifolds, hoses, connectors, and cooling towers. Liquid cooling is easily included in rack-level integrations to increase system efficiency, reduce instances of thermal throttling, and lowers both the TCO and Total Cost to the Environment (TCE) of data center deployments.

Supermicro max-performance X14 systems featuring Intel Xeon 6900 series processors with P-cores include:

GPU-optimized – The highest performance Supermicro X14 systems designed for large-scale AI training, large language models (LLMs), generative AI and HPC, and supporting eight of the latest-generation SXM5 and SXM6 GPUs. These systems are available in air-cooled or liquid-cooled configurations.

PCIe GPU – Designed for maximum GPU flexibility, supporting up to 10 double-width PCIe 5.0 accelerator cards in a thermally-optimized 5U chassis or edge-optimized 3U chassis. These servers are ideal for AI inferencing, media, collaborative design, simulation, cloud gaming, and virtualization workloads.

Intel^® Gaudi^® 3 AI Accelerators – Supermicro is now shipping the industry's first AI server based on the Intel Gaudi 3 accelerator hosted by Intel Xeon 6 processors. Designed to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of large-scale AI model training and AI inferencing, the system features eight Intel Gaudi 3 accelerators on an OAM universal baseboard, six integrated OSFP ports for cost-effective scale-out networking, and an open platform designed to use a community-based, open-source software stack, requiring no software licensing costs.

SuperBlade^® – Supermicro's X14 6U high-performance, density-optimized, and energy-efficient SuperBlade maximizes rack density, with up to 100 servers and 200 GPUs per rack. Optimized for AI, HPC, and other compute-intensive workloads, each node features air cooling or direct-to-chip liquid cooling to maximize efficiency and achieve the lowest PUE with the best TCO, as well as connectivity up to four integrated Ethernet switches with 100G uplinks and front I/O supporting a range of flexible networking options up to 400G InfiniBand or 400G Ethernet per node.

FlexTwin™ – The new Supermicro X14 FlexTwin architecture is purpose-built for HPC, cost-efficient, and designed to provide maximum compute power and density in a multi-node configuration with up to 24,576 performance cores in a 48U rack. Optimized for HPC and other compute-intensive workloads, each node features direct-to-chip liquid cooling only to maximize efficiency and reduce instances of CPU thermal throttling, as well as HPC low latency front and rear I/O supporting a range of flexible networking options up to 400G per node.
