Gen3 (Rudra-GRX-AP)
Rudra-GRX-AP will be based on Intel’s Birch Stream Platform. It is designed with Intel’s sixth generation Xeon Scalable Processor (SP) Granite Rapids (GNR)-AP. It supports next-gen industry-standard technologies such as PCIe 5.0 & DDR5 memory speeds of up to 8800MT. It is compatible with Open Compute Platform (OCP) 48V DC for Cloud/Data center and HPC market. For cooling it has option of both Liquid (better energy efficiency) and Air cooling. The server is designed with interfaces required for HPC system and in small form factor.
