Participating in the OCP Summit, highlighting high conversion efficiency and power density
Design that reduces total cost of ownership and increases CPU power demand

Wiwynn announced that it will showcase the 48v server platform-M1 at booth #B3 of the OCP (Open Computer Project) Summit.

This server platform was designed to increase the power requirements of new CPUs to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). It also addressed the increased demand for 48V within the server.

Wiwynn's M1 platform, based on Intel®'s next-generation Xeon® processor (codename Skylake), implements Vicor's Factorized Power Architecture™, which is comparable to the existing 12V multi-phase structure.

System designers adopting Vicor's Direct-to-PoL product family can implement eco-friendly distributed system solutions featuring high conversion efficiency, high power density, and low distribution losses through a centralized 48V bus bar. This solution also provides additional features, such as reduced VR area footprint near the CPU, excellent transient response characteristics, and peak power delivery.



Sun-Lei Chang, Vice President and CTO of Wiwynn, said, “The advantages of adopting 48V technology in data centers were already proven at last year’s OCP Summit 2016.” Thanks to Vicor, we can now implement state-of-the-art 48V technology in the Wiwynn® M1 server platform to increase power efficiency and provide data centers with the advantage of optimal total cost of ownership.
"I ended up providing points," he said.

Robert Gendron, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Vicor, stated, “We have once again demonstrated our technological prowess by providing this innovative 48V-based server design solution. Vicor will continue to work closely with Wiwynn® to provide the best total cost of ownership to data centers with optimized power efficiency by adopting our 48V direct to CPU solution.”
