Advantech, a global leader in industrial edge computing and edge AI solutions, today announced its next-generation server and network platforms powered by the latest AMD EPYC 9006 Series processors. The new systems are designed to accelerate AI infrastructure from the data center to the intelligent edge, with Advantech's 6th generation AMD EPYC-powered servers delivering the performance, scalability, and reliability required for AI, HPC, storage, networking, and mission-critical industrial workloads.

At AMD Advancing AI 2026, Advantech will showcase its latest 2U 4-node edge server and EATX server board, demonstrating how its workload-ready server solutions enable customers to build scalable, high-performance AI and edge computing infrastructure with greater deployment confidence.

The 6th generation AMD EPYC server CPUs bring continued leadership in performance, efficiency, memory bandwidth, and next-generation I/O. Featuring up to 128 cores and 256 threads with advanced 2nm process technology, Zen 6 and Zen 6c architecture, up to 20% average generational performance uplift, and up to 20% performance-per-watt improvement, these processors are designed to support more virtual machines, higher throughput, and better system efficiency. With up to 128 PCIe Gen6 lanes per CPU, CXL 3.1 memory expansion, and support for DDR5 8000 MHz and MRDIMM 12800 MHz for high memory bandwidth, Advantech edge server solutions deliver balanced compute, memory, and I/O performance for next-generation AI, telco, edge, and storage infrastructure.

Advantech's edge server portfolio powered by AMD EPYC 9006 Series processors includes six new system models. The SKY-642E5 is a 4U MGX GPU server for large-scale AI acceleration. The SKY-722E5 is a 2U DC-MHS server with DC-SCM support for modular data center and edge AI deployments. The SKY-712E5 is a 1U DC-MHS server supporting HHHL and FH-3/4L expansion cards for high-density enterprise edge and cloud workloads. The SKY-822E5 is a 2U short-depth DC-SCM modular server supporting 2 to 3 dual-slot GPU cards for space-constrained edge data centers. The SKY-924E5F is a 2U 4-node front-access server for distributed edge computing. Additionally, Advantech offers the ASMB-982 and ASMB-832 server boards for flexible, high-expandability system designs. These platforms support PCIe Gen6 scalability, GPU-optimized architecture, advanced DDR5 and MRDIMM memory, and AFA-ready high-density E1.S and E3.S NVMe SSD storage to meet low-latency data access, high-throughput storage performance, and scalable infrastructure for data-intensive AI and edge-cloud workloads.

Expanding its portfolio further, Advantech also introduces the FWA-6084, a 2U network appliance designed for demanding network security and edge AI workloads. It features DDR5 and MRDIMM memory capability, eight Gen6 network module cards, and one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot for GPU or add-on card expansion. The appliance is positioned to support line-speed multiple 200G network workloads without compromise.

Combined with Advantech's service advantages including a 3-5-10 service guarantee, strict revision control, stable component supply, worldwide local support, and custom-ready integration, the new portfolio helps customers reduce deployment risk, secure long-term product roadmaps, and accelerate workload-ready AI and edge-cloud infrastructure from concept to deployment.
