HAMBURG, June 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- 1,440 Processor Cores per 42U Rack with 4-Way SuperBlade(R) Optimized 
for Six-Core AMD Opteron(TM) Processors, QDR InfiniBand, Gold Level Power
Efficiency

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, is showcasing the
world's densest and greenest HPC solutions optimized for the new Six-Core AMD
Opteron(TM) processors (code-named "Istanbul") this week at International
SuperComputing 2009 (booth 310). Rackmount servers on display include 1U
Twin(TM) and 4-way 1U servers which support 24 processing cores in a 1U form
factor as well as the new 2U Twin2 with four hot-pluggable DP computing nodes
which supports 48 processor cores. For those seeking even higher compute
density, Supermicro's 4-way SuperBlade(R) features 240 processor cores in 7U.

"Both our 4-way Six-Core SuperBlade(R) and 2U Twin2 servers are available
with QDR 40 Gigabit per second InfiniBand, hot-pluggable features and
high-efficiency 93%+* Gold Level power supplies for best energy efficiency,
costs and space requirements, while delivering maximum computing power per
rack," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "When loaded with
Istanbul processors, our SBA-7141M-T blade enables 1,440 processor cores and
7.68 terabytes of memory in a 42U rack, making it the densest solution
available."

"AMD is pleased to work with Supermicro to deliver the performance,
scalability and overall efficiency HPC customers demand across a variety of
workloads," said Patrick Patla, Vice President and General Manager, Server
and Workstation division, AMD (NYSE: AMD). "Building on the success of AMD's
Direct Connect architecture, the performance and feature enhancements of the
Six-Core AMD Opteron processor, particularly HyperTransport(TM) technology HT
assist for superior memory throughput, make Supermicro's server and blade
platforms even more beneficial to the HPC market."
