Scale-Up 对比:为什么内存密集型负载需要 4 路
单路 160 nucléaire、双路 128 核……2026 年的 CPU 市场不缺核心数,缺的是内存容量和 NUMA 可控性。看数据说话:
| Platform | Sockets | Max cores | DIMM slots | Max memory | Sweet spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-socket (EPYC 9005) | 1 | 160 | 24 | 6 TB | Virtualisation, HCI |
| Dual-socket (Xeon 5th Gen) | 2 | 128 | 32 | 8 TB | General enterprise |
| R960 (Xeon 4th Gen x4) | 4 | 240 | 64 | 16 TB | In-memory DB, SAP HANA |
对 SAP HANA、Serveur SQL、Oracle 这类大内存数据库,瓶颈从来不是核数而是单实例可寻址的内存——64 条 DDR5 槽位、16 TB 容量正是 4 路 R960 存在的理由。它用 4U 机箱把内存计算做到极致,同时保留 12 个 PCIe Gen5 槽的扩展余量。

64 DIMM, 16 TB: The In-Memory Database Platform
Every DIMM slot is a business decision for scale-up databases: 64 DDR5 slots at 4800 MT/s give SAP HANA and Oracle the memory footprint to hold the working set in RAM, eliminating disk-backed I/O stalls. Le 1:1 CPU-to-I/O design with PCIe Gen5 adapters keeps each socket’s memory bandwidth local to its I/O, which is exactly what NUMA-sensitive database workloads need. For analytics and AI acceleration, jusqu'à 4 X 400 W double-width GPUs slot into the Gen5 risers without sacrificing storage bays.

Stockage & RAID
Front bays scale from 8 à 32 x SAS/SATA de 2,5 pouces (jusqu'à 491.52 TB), with dedicated all-NVMe layouts up to 24 x 2.5-inch NVMe (368.64 TB) or mixed 16 SAS + 8 NVMe. RAID duty falls to PERC H965i (tri-mode) or H755 with BOSS-N1 providing hardware-RAID M.2 boot; HBA355i/HBA465i and external HBA355e/HBA465e cover non-RAID and JBOD expansion, plus S160 software RAID for entry tiers.
Réseau & Extension PCIe
Twelve PCIe Gen5 x16 slots (including double-width full-length) host GPU accelerators, 100/400GbE adapters, HCA or storage controllers. Networking is modular: an optional 2 x 1GbE LOM card and an optional OCP 3.0 carte (up to 100GbE class) – LOM, OCP, or both, per the spec. For a scale-up database node, a dual-port 25/100GbE OCP card plus two HBA/GPU risers is the typical balanced build.
