According to the latest TrendForce research, pandemic-induced materials shortages abated in the second half of this year and the supply and delivery of short-term materials has recovered significantly. However, assuming materials supply is secure and demand can be met, the annual growth rate of server shipments in 2023 is estimated to be only 3.7%, which is lower than 5.1% in 2022.

TrendForce indicates that this growth slowdown is due to three factors. First, once material mismatch issues had eased, buyers began adjusting previously placed purchase order overruns. Thus, ODM orders also decreased but this will not affect the 2022 shipment volume of whole servers for the time being. Second, due to the impact of rising inflation and weakness in the overall economy, corporate capital investment may trend more conservative and IT-related investment will emphasize flexibility, such as the replacement of certain server terminals with cloud services. Third, geopolitical changes will drive the continuing emergence of demand for small-scale data centers and previous construction of hyperscale data centers will slow. The recent ban on military/HPC servers issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on October 7 has a very low market share in terms of its application category, so the impact on the overall server market is limited at present. However, if the scope of the ban is expanded further in the future, it will herald a more significant slowdown risk for China's server shipment momentum in 2023.

BIOSTAR is proud to announce their list of the previous generation 600 series motherboards ready to support the new Intel processors. This is great news for consumers currently using this platform with an Alder Lake CPU because the latest 13th gen processors support both DDR5 and DDR4 with extremely impressive performance improvements.

GIGABYTE released three of the first Socket AM5 server motherboards and barebones, letting you build small-business/home servers using AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors. These boards may feature a client-segment CPU socket, but come with server-grade components for 24/7 or high-uptime operation, and remote-management features. The three are based on the AMD B650E chipset, which means it gets full PCI-Express Gen 5 (for an x16 slot and an x4 Gen 5 NVMe).

The MC13-LE0 and MC13-LE1 motherboards are built in the Micro-ATX form-factor, but with a design optimized for rack airflow. Both boards feature an identical PCB layout, but differ in their network connectivity options. The MC13-LE1 offers two 10 GbE interfaces driven by an Intel X710 controller; while the MC13-LE0 gives you two 1 GbE interfaces, each driven by an Intel i210. Both boards offer an ASPEED AST2600 remote-management chip with its dedicated 1 GbE port; one M.2 PCIe Gen 5 slot, a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 slot, and four SATA 6 Gbps ports. The W332-Z00 is an M-ATX tower server/workstation barebones (you add your own processor, DDR5 memory, and storage). This features a different motherboard than the MC13-LE#, with two M.2 PCIe Gen 5 slots, and Realtek-supplied remote-management and 2.5 GbE chips.

This one is likely to go down ASRock's internal history as a failure of sticking proportions. Namely, it seems that some ASRock motherboards in the newly-released AM5 X670 / X670E family carry stickers overlaid on the DDR5 slots. The idea was to provide users with a handy, visually informative guide on DDR5 memory stick installations and a warning on abnormally long boot times that were to be expected, according to RAM stick capacity. But it seems that these low-quality stickers are being torn apart as users attempt to remove them, leaving behind remnants that are extremely difficult to clean up and which can block DRAM installation entirely or partially. I, for one, would never install a DDR5 module if I thought there was a chance for some paper bits to have fallen on to the DRAM slots - paper and glue bits within the DRAM slots don't seem particularly conducive to a successful motherboard POST.

In the meantime, the company has already announced that it's not only aware of the problem, it's willing to accept RMAs for motherboards that sport the impossible-to-cleanly-peel stickers (consumers should contact their retailers and e-tailers for the exchange). Information around forums where this issue is being discussed don't seem to point to any instance of actual motherboard damage resulting from the stickers - enough patience or an entire motherboard exchange seem to be two solutions to this problem. The company also announced that its latest motherboard batches on AMD's X670 chipsets no longer carry the stickers themselves, due to several BIOS-level improvements that have brought down the boot times, making the informative stickers unneeded. Still, when one takes into account the consumer and company cost of activating an RMA process, it seems that the company shouldn't have skimped on the sticker quality itself.

EK, the European manufacturer of premium liquid cooling gear, and MSI, a world-leading gaming brand, have traditionally partnered up to launch an X670E-based motherboard that comes packaged with a Quantum-design monoblock. This time, it will come in a Limited Edition run. The monoblock offers unparalleled cooling for the VRM section and the AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, as well as a plethora of other nifty features, like the integrated flow meter and temperature sensor, allowing users to have precise checks on their loop status.

Cooling the Ryzen 7000 CPUs is no small feat, and air coolers struggle to get the most out of them. The new Ryzen 7000 series CPUs don't have a fixed frequency as CPUs used to. Instead, the boost clock is primarily contingent on thermals and, secondarily, power. Here's where liquid-cooled EK-Quantum Momentum² Monoblock comes into play. Not only does it make sure that your CPU is properly cooled, but it also ensures the power delivery system is as cool as possible. This allows the user to push performance to the limits while having a quiet system that stays as cool as possible.
