Overview of Performance Leadership

QCT, a global data center solution provider, collaborated with Taiwan's National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC) of the National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs) to build Taiwania 3 one of the world's TOP5001 fastest supercomputers which is also listed among the Green500 1 list of the world's most efficient systems. This supercomputer is built with QCT servers powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processors to provide more immediate and convenient computing services to various industries, and also for academia and research communities.

Built on that success, QCT's latest server systems are powered by 5th and 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors to realize significant performance improvement compared to those running on 3rd Gen Intel platforms, allowing QCT to set new performance benchmarks on spec.org.

The following shows the performance enhancements that QuantaGrid D54Q-2U, one of QCT's dual-socket general-purpose server powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, achieved in January 2024 against QuantaGrid D53XQ-2U, its previous generation powered by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors:
  • Up to 136% performance enhancement on SPEC CPU2017 rate floating point2
  • Up to 87% performance enhancement on SPECjbb2015-MultiJVM critical-jOPS3
  • Up to 32% better performance/watt on SPECpower_​ssj20084
