Content creators in media and entertainment need lots of compute, storage and networking. Supermicro servers with AMD EPYC processors are enhancing the creativity of these content creators by offering improved rendering and high-speed storage. These systems empower the production of creative ideas.  

ILM, the visual-effects company founded by George Lucas, is using AMD-powered Supermicro servers and workstations to create the next generation of special effects for movies and TV.

Gaming as a Service is a streaming platform that pushes content from the cloud to personal devices on demand. Though it’s been around for years, in some ways it’s just getting started.

Gaming as a Service gets a boost from Blacknut’s new platform for content providers that’s powered by Supermicro and Radian Arc.

For the first time, challengers can run their designs using thousands of AMD EPYC™ core CPUs, enabling artists to develop the most complex animations and the most amazing visualizations. “The contestants have access to this professional-grade render farm just like the pros. It levels the playing field,” said James Knight, the director of entertainment for AMD. “You can make scenes that weren’t possible before on your own PC,” he said.

Join Supermicro online Nov. 10th to watch the unveiling of the company’s new A+ systems -- featuring next-generation AMD EPYC™ processors. They can't tell us any more right now. But you can register for a link to the event by scrolling down and signing-up on this page.

The AMD Threadripper™ CPU may be a desktop processor, but desktop computing was never like this. The new chipset comes in a variety of multi-core versions, with a maximum of 64 cores running up to 128 threads, 256MB of L3 cache and 2TB of DDR 8-channel memory. The newest Threadrippers are built with AMD’s latest 7 nanometer dies.  

Blur Studio calculated it could replace a competitor's 500-node server farm with just 56 Supermicro A+ servers equipped with AMD EPYC™ CPUs, getting equivalent processing power.
