Hacker News with Generative AI: Servers

NonStop 80s Servers (wikipedia.org)
NonStop is a series of server computers introduced to market in 1976 by Tandem Computers Inc.,[1] beginning with the NonStop product line.[2] It was followed by the Tandem Integrity NonStop line of lock-step fault-tolerant computers, now defunct (not to be confused with the later and much different Hewlett-Packard Integrity product line extension). The original NonStop product line is currently offered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise since Hewlett-Packard Company's split in 2015.

AMD EPYC 9845 Makes for a Persuasive Upgrade with Performance and Efficiency (phoronix.com)
With the new AMD EPYC 9005 processors there are SKUs up to 500 Watt with the likes of the EPYC 9965 flagship at 192 cores for Turin Dense cores or 128 Turin classic cores with the EPYC 9755. But for those looking at upgrading from an existing EPYC 9004 series server and bound by the motherboard BIOS support and/or cooling/power capacity, 400 Watts is a sweet spot.

Intel Xeon 6700P and 6500P Granite Rapids-SP for the Masses Initial Benchmarks (servethehome.com)
This Intel Xeon 6 series has been a launch we have been waiting on for around three quarters. Today, we have the launch of the Intel Xeon 6700P and Xeon 6500P series. These are the smaller Socket E2 (LGA4710-2) processors compared to the big socket Intel Xeon 6900P series. At the same time, they are not necessarily “lower-end” as they can scale to 4 sockets, eight sockets and beyond.

Servers can last a long time (world.hey.com)
We bought sixty-one servers for the launch of Basecamp 3 back in 2015. Dell R430s and R630s, packing thousands of cores and terabytes of RAM. Enough to fill all the app, job, cache, and database duties we needed. The entire outlay for this fleet was about half a million dollars, and it's only now, almost a decade later, that we're finally retiring the bulk of them for a full hardware refresh. What a bargain!

IBM RISC System/6000 Family (computeradsfromthepast.substack.com)
IBM debuted the RISC System/6000 line in February 1990. This family of products included RISC-powered servers, workstations, and supercomputers. It was the first line of computers to make use of the POWER and PowerPC processors. (IBM developed the PowerPC chips with Apple and Motorola.) The RISC System/6000 servers were replaced by the eServer pSeries. Workstations were sold under the RISC System/6000 name until 2002.
