Large-capacity video memory AI server
We strongly recommend a server grade platform like Intel Xeon® or AMD EPYC™ for hosting LLMs and applications using them. Those platforms have key features like lots of PCI-Express lanes for GPUs and storage, high memory bandwidth/capacity, and ECC memory support. Running large language models (LLMs), high-resolution Stable Diffusion or FLUX generations, or complex voice and video AI workflows efficiently requires a significant amount of GPU Video RAM (VRAM). This is one of the most important hardware specifications when choosing a graphics card for any kind. A server for local AI inference should not be chosen by the most expensive graphics card, but by whether the model, working cache and parallel requests fit into video memory, and whether the system has enough CPU resources, PCIe lanes, power and cooling. By the end of this article, readers will be equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their AI.
