The MiTAC TN85-B8261 is an impressive new server designed to handle immense tasks, having two processors and room for four GPUs. The release was showcased at COMPUTEX 2025 and displayed server-to-data integration solutions, alongside its use of Solidigm D5-P5336. This is the highest capacity PCIe SSD available for 122 terabyte systems.
The Evolution of Powerful Servers
Over the years, servers have become a huge part of our lives. They are the backbone of Netflix and YouTube, storing thousands of gigabytes of content, ensuring that users are able to access anything they want, at any time. Servers have also had a part to play in online gaming, managing game sessions, player interactions, and more, ensuring a smooth experience even with many players at a time.
Platform servers can also work directly with game servers to facilitate online pay-to-play transactions, something that’s benefited the casino sector in particular. Servers have now advanced to the point where users can play blackjack games, like Infinite Blackjack, with a live dealer. Deposits can be made online with high-security servers used to transmit the data, while a different server transmits a live video feed directly to the user. This is all done within a matter of seconds. A similar principle applies to pay-per-view streaming services. Indeed, servers have come a long way for such services to be possible, and for different servers to be used in conjunction with each other has been a major breakthrough for the technology over the years.
Building on the advancements that have been made, MiTAC has created something truly special. Their new server release is designed to handle the most demanding of AI tasks, with a complex SSD that is able to read data very quickly. It also uses less power compared to older SSDs. This increase in efficiency means that the server can focus more on processing AI data and tasks, without the limitations associated with storage or even power usage.
A New Generation that Utilizes Cloud Infrastructure
MiTAC servers use the latest AMD and Intel processors, with powerful GPUs that handle even the heaviest of computing jobs. They have collaborated with Solidigm, which is an established manufacturer of SSDs. Advancements like this essentially help systems to run faster, without wasting power or causing high temperature spikes. With new cooling tech having also debuted at COMPUTEX, it’s safe to say that the whole field is advancing at a phenomenal rate.
It’s MiTAC’s goal to create scalable server solutions, using cutting-edge technology to support the next generation of cloud computing. The company, which has made notable advancements in the tech sector in the past, is now turning its entire focus to AI and server support. There’s a big demand for this as well. As more AI applications are made, the computing power needed to support them becomes even greater, with lots of new hardware becoming necessary to support this digital revolution.
The COMPUTEX event is always full of surprises, with tech giants using it as a way to put the spotlight on new releases. With that said, it seems that this year, MiTAC has stolen the show and potentially opened the door to a whole new era of opportunity.
