We want to purchase a large number of high-end AMD/Intel servers, but due to the shortage of hardware, we are having difficulty finding a supplier.
Could you recommend any companies that sell servers? We've been told that Supermicro has a lead time of 120 days.

The following firms could be worth considering for your requirements:

These vendors might have the products you seek.

We have conducted performance tests across a range of games, with varying genres and release dates, using different graphics APIs and technical support from AMD or Nvidia to maximize coverage of possible scenarios. The comparative performance in these games enables us to draw unambiguous conclusions. The emphasis on CPU performance means that powerful central processor models can significantly increase rendering speeds in a wide range of cases, with both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance being useful for games, although to varying degrees.

It should be noted that different games have different loads on the CPU and GPU, which is heavily dependent on the graphics API used. Older games designed for older APIs benefit more from increased single-threaded performance, while newer games have an advantage with more computational threads, although even the most modern projects are not effectively using more than 6-8 cores.

Multi-platform games created with next-generation consoles having eight full-fledged computing cores may change this situation. In real-world scenarios, users can run various software that consumes system resources, requiring 1-2 additional cores. However, such situations cannot be standardized as everyone has their own needs.

To evaluate standard geometric indicators for games, we compared performance indicators separately for two selected resolution modes and quality settings. For AMD and Intel processors of different price positions and generations, the difference between the weakest and strongest CPUs was 19% -26%, which is significant.

For those satisfied with Full HD resolution with 60Hz refresh rates, even lower processor models like Ryzen 3 3300X and Core i3-10100 will suffice. Monitors with higher resolutions and refresh rates require more powerful models with more cores. Owners of such monitors also have some reserve for the future in the form of unused computing cores.

The difference in speed between Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 or Core i9 and Core i7 is currently less than the differences in price. Older models are not recommended for game use. The optimal gaming solutions with a relatively low price are the Ryzen 5 5600X and Core i5-10400 processors, each with six cores. The Ryzen 5 5600X offers 96%-99% of the best CPU at a low price, and the Core i5-10400 is cheaper than the Ryzen 5 3600X while still providing high performance.

To provide clarity, we have included a conditional "price justification" indicator that represents the number of rubles required per geometric mean frame per second. While weaker CPUs have the best price justification, they are not suitable for gaming.

I can suggest some well-known server manufacturers that you may want to consider reaching out to for inquiries regarding availability and lead times. These include Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Lenovo, Cisco, and IBM. Additionally, it may be worth consulting with local resellers or contacting cloud service providers who might have surplus or pre-configured servers available for purchase.

If you're looking for alternatives to Supermicro with shorter lead times, you can consider checking with other server manufacturers like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, or Tyan. They offer a range of server solutions and may have different lead times for their products. Additionally, you could also try reaching out to local resellers or system integrators who may have access to a variety of server hardware and can help you find available stock. Keep in mind that the availability of high-end servers can vary depending on market conditions, so it's worth exploring multiple options and staying in touch with different suppliers to maximize your chances of finding the hardware you need.

To purchase a large number of high-end AMD/Intel servers, you can consider the following options:

1. Server Manufacturers: Reach out to server manufacturers such as Dell EMC, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, or Tyan. Inquire about their available server models, bulk pricing, and lead times for the desired quantities.

2. Resellers and Distributors: Contact reputable resellers and distributors in your area who specialize in server hardware. They often have access to a wide range of server models and can assist with sourcing the quantity you require.

3. Cloud Service Providers: Some cloud service providers periodically refresh their server infrastructure and may have surplus or decommissioned servers available for sale. Check with providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or IBM Cloud to explore any potential options.

4. Online Marketplaces: Explore online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, Newegg, or Alibaba. These platforms may have listings from various resellers or individuals selling server hardware in bulk.
