"The result was a 7.8-foot-tall, 2,518-pound rack system rated for 15 kW of total power draw that runs a completely custom open source software stack. Inside this behemoth are 32 hyperscale-inspired compute sleds, each packing 64 EPYC cores, up to 1 TB of memory, and 32 TB of NVMe storage, all connected via a backplane that not only provides power but also delivers up to 12.8 Tbps of switching capacity."
"The upcoming gear will include a new generation of compute blades powered by AMD's Turin EPYC, which launched a little over a year ago, boasting core counts of up to 192 cores and support for faster DDR5 6400 MT/s memory - a rather big upgrade over the comparatively glacial DDR4 3200 MT/s memory that shipped in the OG Oxide rack back in 2023."
Oxide Computer secured $200 million in Series C funding to bring upgraded rack-scale hardware to market with enhanced CPU, memory, and networking capabilities. The original rack was a 7.8-foot-tall, 2,518-pound system rated for 15 kW and running a custom open-source software stack. That rack contained 32 compute sleds each with 64 EPYC cores, up to 1 TB of memory, and 32 TB NVMe storage, linked by a backplane offering power plus 12.8 Tbps switching. The initial design used AMD Milan and DDR4 3200 MT/s. New blades will use AMD Turin (Zen 5) with up to 192 cores and DDR5 6400 MT/s.
