Dell Technologies on Thursday introduced the new Dell PowerEdge R9825 and Dell PowerEdge R9815 servers equipped with AMD 6th-generation EPYC processors.

The company said the PowerEdge R9825 and R9815 use AMD EPYC 9006 SP7 processors that support up to 256 cores per socket and configurable thermal design power of up to 600 watts in a standard air-cooled form factor.

They are designed to help companies and institutions build high-performance computing in existing air-cooled data centre environments. The systems can also apply Direct Liquid Cooling depending on workloads.

The PowerEdge R9825 is based on a dual-socket 3U form factor and provides scale-up performance in environments where multiple types of high-performance workloads run simultaneously.

The PowerEdge R9815 is based on a single-socket 2U form factor and maximises per-socket performance to provide a foundation for server consolidation. The company stressed that companies and institutions that must handle a range of computing workloads, including AI inference, can use the PowerEdge R9825 and R9815 to modernise computing infrastructure step by step while maintaining existing racks and data centre environments.

Sang-mo Yoo (유상모), president of Dell Technologies Korea, said, "As AI workloads increase, improving the performance and efficiency of ageing servers and minimising the operational burden on existing data centres are emerging as key tasks for companies." He added, "These new Dell PowerEdge R9825 and R9815 products help implement a high-performance computing environment while keeping existing data centre facilities, and help reduce operating and software licensing costs by consolidating servers."
