Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On August 18, at the 2023 China Computing Conference, Lenovo Group launched two new AI server products-Lenovo WA7780 G3 AI large model training server and Lenovo WA5480 G3 AI training server, which marked the luxury upgrade of Lenovo AI server "Tiantuan" product matrix and further consolidated Lenovo's leading position in the AI server market.

At present, a new round of artificial intelligence upsurge set off by ChatGPT is rapidly sweeping the world. As the core engine behind the scenes, the demand for numeracy is magnified, and "numeracy anxiety" is often mentioned. Kang Yong, chief economist of KPMG, said that under the realistic background that computing power is in short supply, the traditional computing architecture is losing its competitiveness and new computing models must be explored.

And "Puhui" computing power will usher in a new computing era of "everything is data", "innumerable non-calculation" and "non-calculation and unintelligence". Lenovo believes that the future computing power will accelerate in two key dimensions: universality and wisdom. The release of the above two AI servers is precisely the Lenovo Group with practical actions to embrace the intelligent era dominated by AI, but also the display of its full stack of intelligent and powerful strength.

Lenovo server new product release, AI performance is impressive

According to reports, the two new server products released by Lenovo Group at the 2023 China Computing Conference are brand-new products based on AI guidance, which can help build a more green and efficient artificial intelligence data center to meet customers' diverse computing needs, from algorithm training, reasoning to super-large-scale training.

Among them, Lenovo WA7780 G3 is a server specially built for AI large model training, based on the fourth generation Intel ®strong ®scalable processor, with the characteristics of surging computing power, super architecture and efficient energy saving, which can increase the AI computing power by 3.44 times, up to 32p FLOPS AI computing power. In addition, the server realizes the fast and low-delay interconnection between GPU and NVMe through GDS technology, which can effectively improve the loading speed of training data and improve the performance of large model training.

Another Lenovo WA 5480 G3 AI training and push integrated server is a 4U rack-mounted AI server in Lenovo's brand, which not only supports power redundancy, but also backs up each other between power supplies within the node, and can connect two-way municipal power externally, thus ensuring that the server runs online 24 hours a day.

In addition to releasing the AI-oriented computing infrastructure represented by AI servers, Lenovo Group also brought intelligent terminals embedded in AI and native solutions and services of AI in addition to the 2023 China Computing Conference. This is not only the Lenovo Group embracing the intelligent era with the strength display solution service, but also the display of its intelligent and powerful strength in the whole stack.

Chen Zhenkuan, vice president of Lenovo Group and general manager of the server division of Lenovo's infrastructure business group in China, said at the conference that the demand for large-scale training numeracy has been growing substantially every year for the past five years. Lenovo's future 100% computing infrastructure products support AI,50% infrastructure R & D investment in AI.

The large-scale input and output in the AI field is also reflected in Lenovo's latest financial results released on August 17. According to the financial report, Lenovo's emerging AI hardware infrastructure-related business has achieved three-digit growth compared with the same period last year, ranking third in the world. At the same time, based on the comprehensive leading performance of Lenovo's AI server, Lenovo has become one of the few partners that have won the "Gold Certification" of Nvidia, the world's top AI service provider.

Deep ploughing "Puhui" math power, full stack intelligence to speed up the landing of the whole scene of AI

Earlier, KPMG and Lenovo Group jointly released "Puhui Computing Power ushering in a New era of Computing" estimates that by 2025, the industrial output value of China's core computing power will be no less than 4.4 trillion yuan, and the scale of related industries will reach 24 trillion yuan.

Chen Zhenkuan said that in the huge computing market, Lenovo is at the core track and will neither participate in large-scale model tracks nor train large-scale models, but will provide infrastructure and services for all companies that build and train large-scale models, such as GPU servers and artificial intelligence servers.

So how will Lenovo continue to work hard? "Lenovo will fully invest and continue to innovate to build an AI-oriented computing infrastructure," Mr Chen said.

According to him, "AI intelligence" and "green empowerment" are the two major features of Lenovo's AI computing strategy released this time. Among them, "AI intelligence" means that Lenovo's computing infrastructure products will fully support AI. At least half of Lenovo's R & D investment in infrastructure will be invested in AI. In addition, Lenovo will continue to build comprehensive AI technology to cover global AI applications.

"Green empowerment" is another feature of Lenovo's AI computing strategy. Chen Zhenkuan pointed out that while comprehensive AI technology covers global AI applications, Lenovo will continue to develop green and low-carbon liquid cooling technology. This means that Lenovo will make a comprehensive layout and lead the liquid cooling technology, create a beacon of liquid cooling cluster scheme, and use green computing infrastructure to promote the sustainable development of smart computing industry.

Liu Jun, executive vice president and president of Lenovo Group in China, pointed out that the independent and complete AI ecology that Lenovo will accelerate presents three major characteristics: first, the terminal has super intelligence, second, hybrid architecture computing, and third, AI will be used in the industry scene.

In the future, in the vast computing power track, the intelligent layout of the full stack will help Lenovo continue to strengthen its multi-dimensional advantages in the field of computing infrastructure such as AI servers, build a solid AI computing base for the society with surging computing power, and accelerate the landing of AI in the whole scene, thus enabling the high-quality development of the digital economy.
