2U barebone for dense compute
The ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8G-32KW10G-EPYC-9655 is a 2U rackmount barebone server built around an AMD EPYC 9655 processor with 96 cores and 192 threads at 2.60 GHz. It targets organisations that need high core density in a compact chassis for virtualisation, database or HPC workloads.
96-core EPYC 9655 with 12-channel DDR5
The single specification that decides fit is the pre-installed EPYC 9655 delivering 96 cores and 192 threads on Socket SP5 with 12 memory channels. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR5 6400/5600 RDIMM across 24 slots and supports up to 3 TB, so memory bandwidth scales directly with the processor you already have.
256 GB DDR5 and 960 GB SSD headroom
The 256 GB of installed DDR5 handles large in-memory datasets and heavy virtualisation comfortably, while the 960 GB SSD provides fast boot and scratch space. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays allow storage expansion without downtime, but the barebone includes no additional drives, so buyers needing multi-terabyte capacity must supply their own.

Questions about this item
What does the 96-core EPYC 9655 deliver in a live 2U rackmount server?
The installed EPYC 9655 provides 96 cores and 192 threads at 2.60 GHz, giving dense multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases or HPC workloads inside a 2U chassis.
How do the PCIe Gen5 slots and OCP 3.0 ports limit add-in card bandwidth?
Six PCIe Gen5 x8 or three x16 full-height full-length slots plus two x16 full-height half-length slots and two OCP 3.0 x16 SFF bays all share Gen5 lanes, capping each device at its configured lane width.
What physical space and rails does the 2U barebones need to mount in a rack?
The unit occupies 2U of rack height and uses standard 2U rackmount rails; eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays fill the front, while power supplies and rear I/O sit at the back.
