dbrand makes great precision cut vinyl skins for your mobile devices game
0:04
consoles and game controllers you can check them out at the link in the video
0:07
description so we are here in the Gigabyte booth
0:12
where they are focused mostly on their server stuff and this is my first
0:18
encounter with an AMD epic server out in
0:21
the wild like not actually at AMD's headquarters so this guy right here has
0:26
got six NVMe and 18 SATA drives it
0:30
accepts up to two 32 core 64 thread epic
0:33
servers for a total of 128 threads not to mention that it can
0:39
hold up to four terabytes of memory if you've got oh i
0:44
don't know about 115 000 to spend on
0:47
your RAM per system this one is designed
0:50
more around versatility so you can throw a couple of Radeon instinct mi 25 cards
0:55
in the back throw some storage in throw some random whatever the case may be
1:00
but we're going to see some really interesting designs moving forward with
1:03
epic because as big data becomes more ubiquitous
1:06
memory to store that information during processing becomes more and more
1:10
important so high density high bandwidth
1:14
memory solutions are in extreme demand right now and AMD is providing mondo
1:19
memory capacity and mondo memory bandwidth and they're doing it
1:23
relatively speaking on the cheap so
1:26
Intel is currently charging about ten thousand dollars for their flagship xeon
1:32
scalable while AMD is topping out at around forty two hundred dollars
1:37
and changing gears entirely there's even more to be excited about so
1:42
let's have a quick look at this guy right here in the same 2u form factor
1:46
this guy takes two Intel xeon platinum
1:49
cpus up to 24 dimms and up to eight
1:55
just perfectly normal gpus each running at PCIe 16x thanks to these little riser
2:01
boards with plx chips on them now hold
2:04
on line if you're talking about Intel all of a sudden epic comes back into the picture here
2:08
because thanks to epic's 128 pci express lanes Gigabyte has told
2:14
us that they're actually planning a follow-up to this particular model with
2:19
a single epic CPU so not only could you be saving money on the cpus you're
2:23
buying you could actually be buying half
2:26
as many of them with tons of memory bandwidth and tons of GPU support with
2:32
no speed compromise so on a large scale
2:36
these cost savings are going to be making huge waves in the deep learning
2:41
space and on the subject of making huge waves
2:45
dbrand has shaken up the vinyl skin industry i don't even know if you can
2:49
call it a vinyl skin industry anymore because like who else even exists at
2:52
this point over at dbrand you can get precision cut genuine 3m vinyl skins for
2:57
your phone your game console your mobile device and you can use their fantastic
3:01
configurator to see exactly what it's going to look like when it arrives
3:06
mixing and matching finishes and colors as you see fit their products are
3:10
affordable they ship worldwide and you guys can check them out over at
3:14
