Dell is looking to address the growing need for scalable, flexible and high performance infrastructure with a new PowerEdge server portfolio.

By integrating the latest AMD 5th Generation EPYC processors and advanced cooling systems, Dell is equipping enterprises with the tools needed to stay competitive.

The PowerEdge XE7745 server will be released in January 2025, while the PowerEdge R6715, R7715, R6725, and R7725 servers will be available as early as November 2024.

PowerEdge servers for enterprise AI workloads

One of the new offerings is the Dell PowerEdge XE7745 which is designed to support up to eight double-width or 16 single-width PCIe GPUs, utilizing AMD's 5th Generation EPYC processors. It comes in a 4U air-cooled chassis and is engineered specifically for AI inferencing, model fine-tuning, and high-performance computing (HPC). The server also features eight additional Gen 5.0 PCIe slots for network connectivity.

In addition, the PowerEdge R6725 and R7725 servers also use AMD 5th Generation EPYC processors and offer greater scalability for enterprises. Ptomized to handle high-demand workloads, Dell claims the R7725 server can deliver up to a 66% performance increase and a 33% boost in efficiency at the higher end of the performance spectrum.

All three of these platforms are capable of supporting up to 50% more cores, with a reported 37% improvement in performance per core. These performance upgrades offer enterprises the potential to consolidate older infrastructure, reducing the need for multiple servers and cutting CPU power consumption by up to 65%.

Dell has also introduced the PowerEdge R6715 and R7715 servers, both powered by AMD’s 5th Generation EPYC processors. These servers bring further efficiency gains and offer up to 37% more drive capacity, increasing storage density. These single-socket servers support various configurations, with up to 24 DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) to maximize performance.
