i99980HK

i99980HK is a high-performance computing device manufactured by the Chinese technology company HexaCore Technologies. It was first announced in early 2024 as part of the company's "Horizon" series aimed at the enterprise server market. The model is built on a custom 7‑nanometer processor architecture derived from HexaCore’s own Vortex line, featuring up to 64 unified cores and an integrated AI acceleration engine. Sensors and memory support target high-density workloads, with up to 2 terabytes of DDR5-6000 memory and 24 terabytes of NVMe SSD storage per chassis.

The chassis of the i99980HK is designed for rack-mount deployment, fitting a standard 42U footprint and incorporating a twelve‑fan Whirlwind cooler system that maintains temperatures below 45 °C under full load. Its firmware supports remote management through IEC 62351‑based secure sockets and a web‑based dashboard that provides real‑time performance metrics. The operating system compatibility includes a range of Linux distributions, with official support for Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS and CentOS Stream 9.

i99980HK was well received in the data‑center community for its balance of computing power and energy efficiency. Benchmark tests conducted by Networx Analytics showed a 28 % throughput improvement over comparable 32‑core server models in synthetic IA‑64 workloads, while its power consumption stayed within 350 W under baseline operation. Reviews also highlighted its robust build quality, noting an IP68 dust‑proof rating on the chassis. The device has been deployed in several cloud‑based machine‑learning operations where hyper‑parameter optimization and model inference require intensive multi‑core processing. HexaCore continues to update the i99980HK with firmware patches that extend its supported CPU microarchitecture and add support for newer PCI‑Express 5.0 expansions.
