There’s no denying that AMD’s Ryzen family of CPUs is becoming more widely sought after, not only among AV and digital media professionals, but across a whole host of different industries that are beginning to realise the many advantages of these powerful and innovative processors. We’ve seen the demand grow from our own customers, largely driven by the fact that Ryzen is a fantastic option for 3D and real-time rendering.
Understanding the key benefits made possible by Ryzen, such as speed, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, we recently decided to introduce the AMD chips into our product line-up, starting with our 1U PC. We mentioned back in May that support for Ryzen would soon extend across the remainder of our units and can now announce that AMD Ryzen 7 processors are available within our 2U PC, 2U Nano, 4U Nano, and 1U Plus PCs.
Why is the 1U Plus so important?
We have noticed a trend among our customers in the requirement for Ryzen CPU support, which has seen more of a lean towards 1U machines. Because we want to be able to give our customers as much flexibility and choice as we possibly can, we have ensured that two of our most popular 1U units have Ryzen 7 compatibility – the 1U PC and 1U Plus. This means the chips aren’t limited to a single set of 1U specifications, but users can instead enjoy the versatility of two very different 1U machines. These both now offer support for the Ryzen 7 1800X, an 8-core and 16-thread CPU with a base clock of 3.6GHz and boost of 4GHz.
The 2U Nano takes on Threadripper
While Ryzen 7 has proven to be extremely popular, we’ve also now introduced AMD’s flagship Ryzen Threadripper, the 1950X, to the RT95X model of our 2U Nano. The CPU has twice the amount of cores than its cousin, and promises very impressive performance indeed. We can’t wait to see what this beast of a chip can do.
We’re big fans of Ryzen, so if you would like to know more about AMD’s game-changing processors and how you can get your hands on one in a G2 PC, talk to us.
