https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/gigabyte-refreshes-amd-epyc-server-lineup-with-more-choices-for-nvme-storage/ AMD EPYC has 32 cores, 128 PCIe lanes and 8 channels of memory available to it. Storage wise, the R181-Z90 supports 4 x 3.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS drives, the R181-Z91 supports a mix of 2 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe U.2 drives and 8 x hot-swap 2.5" SATA/SAS drives, while the R181-Z92 supports 10 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe U.2 drives.
Meanwhile, the R281-Z91 supports a mix of 6 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe U.2 and 20 x 2.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS drives, and the R281-Z92 supports 24 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe U.2 + 2 x 2.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS drives. These five systems also all feature 1 x NVMe M.2 slot for an additional ultra-fast storage device.
It seems to me that AMD EPYC is offering IT server departments great value for money and GIGABYTE is widening blade server choice and configuration which tends to indicate that EPYC processors are doing well.
