The ASUS ESC8000A-E13-32W is a dual-socket 4U server built for large-scale generative AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing. It supports two 5th/4th Gen AMD EPYC 9005/9004 processors with up to 192 cores and 500W TDP per socket, and accommodates up to eight 600W dual-slot GPUs connected directly to the CPU to minimize latency.

Twenty-four DIMM slots hold up to 3TB of DDR5 6400/5600 RDIMM memory, while 11 PCIe 5.0 expansion slots include dedicated high-bandwidth slots for NIC cards and NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs. Eight 2.5-inch front hot-swap bays support hardware RAID and up to six U.2 NVMe drives, and the modular toolless design simplifies servicing.
