Supermicro Expands Edge AI Portfolio with AMD EPYC 4005-Powered Platforms
New compact systems target high-performance, low-power deployments across retail, healthcare, and enterprise edge environments
Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI/ML, HPC, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, announced a family of compact, high-efficiency platforms powered by AMD EPYC™ 4005 series processors. The edge-optimised systems are designed to accelerate AI inferencing and general-purpose workloads in space and power-constrained environments, including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and enterprise branch locations.
"Supermicro continues to deliver highly efficient, compact systems that bring powerful compute closer to where data is generated and processed," said Mory Lin, Vice President, IoT/Embedded & Edge Computing, Supermicro. "With our new AMD EPYC 4005 processor-based platforms, including compact box, short-depth 1U, and slim tower system form factors, customers can deploy AI accelerator cards and dedicated workloads at the edge with improved performance, enhanced security, and reduced power consumption, while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO)."
The latest additions to the portfolio include three new edge AI systems that enable organisations to deploy intelligent applications at scale, ranging from real-time analytics to business-critical infrastructure, including loss prevention, frictionless checkout, and in-store analytics for intelligent retail, restaurants, and healthcare.
The AMD EPYC™ 4005 series portfolio includes:
- AS -E300-14GR: A compact mini-1U box system supporting up to 16 cores and 192GB of DDR5 memory, ideal for embedded and space-constrained deployments such as point-of-sale with HDMI and MiniDisplay ports and network gateway applications with one dedicated out-of-band management port and 4x GbE ports in a 2.5L enclosure
- AS -1116R-FN4: A short-depth 1U rackmount system with expanded storage capabilities, optimised for branch offices and retail back-end consolidation
- AS -3015TR-i4: A slim tower system offering flexibility for edge deployments requiring quiet operation and easy installation for integrating one dual-slot GPU card (2.7" H x 6.6" L), such as NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 2000 Blackwell GPU in a 9L chassis, including optional slim optical and 3.5"disk drive
Each system features advanced security technologies, including TPM 2.0 and AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualisation (SEV), along with robust connectivity options such as 4x GbE ports for seamless integration with POS systems, cameras, and enterprise networks.
Powered by AMD's "Zen 5" core architecture, EPYC 4005 series processors offer TDP as low as 65W, support for DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 5 expansion. Select models also incorporate AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, enabling faster data access and improved performance for data-intensive workloads.
With support for IPMI 2.0 remote management and optional GPU acceleration, Supermicro's new edge systems provide a scalable, secure, and energy-efficient platform for modern distributed computing.
