GIGABYTE Unveils WRX90 AI TOP: A Workstation Powerhouse for Threadripper PRO
GIGABYTE has announced the WRX90 AI TOP, a high-end E-ATX motherboard specifically designed for workstation-class workloads. Built around the AMD WRX90 chipset, this board is engineered to support the latest Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors, offering massive memory capacity and extensive PCIe connectivity for AI and professional computing tasks.
The WRX90 AI TOP is designed to accommodate both the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000-WX and 7000-WX series CPUs via the Socket sTR5 interface. To handle the intense data demands of modern professional environments, the board features eight DDR5 RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS slots, allowing for a total system memory capacity of up to 2TB. Notably, GIGABYTE has included the 'DDR Wind Blade XTREME Duo' active cooling fan to help maintain stable temperatures across these high-capacity memory modules.

Robust Power and Connectivity
Power delivery is a priority for this workstation board, which utilizes a 32+3+3+3 phase digital power design to ensure stability under heavy loads. For data and expansion, the board offers a significant array of high-speed interfaces, including six PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (with one operating at x8) and two MCIO 8i (PCIe 5.0 x4) connectors. Storage options are further expanded with two M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slots, one M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, and four SATA 6Gbps ports.

I/O and Management Features
The rear I/O panel is well-equipped for professional networking and peripheral connectivity, featuring dual Intel X710 10GbE LAN ports alongside a standard 1GbE LAN port for the AST2600 BMC. Users also get two USB4 ports, six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two Mini DisplayPort inputs, and a D-Sub output. The inclusion of an onboard BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) with IPMI support highlights its focus on remote management and server-grade reliability.
