- Gigabyte’s AI Top 500 TRX50 is a desktop built for AI developers working on massive LLMs
- Elderly Wire Rippers CPU included but the motherboard supports newer upgrades
- GeForce RTX 5090 GPU paired with software for model setting
Gigabyte has quietly launched the AI Top 500 TRX50, an advanced system aimed at developers working on AI models and advanced multimodal tasks.
The machine is powered by AMD’s 24-Core Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX processor and cooled by an Aorus 360 AIO Liquid Cooler. This combination allows it to surpass Gigabyte’s previously announced Arrow Lake-S-based AI Top 100 Z890.
Interestingly enough like TechPowerup Reports, AI Top 500 still depend on AMD’s current generation of “Zen 4/Storm Peak” architecture, even with the Thadripper Pro 9000 series, which is expected to launch in the near future.
Ports in mass
Fortunately, Gigabyte’s TRX50 motherboard supports future upgrades that can appeal to the long-term planning. Videocardz suggests that a version that uses the 32-core 7975WX may soon be released.
Like the AI Top 100, the 500 series Prebuild also includes Gigabyte’s own GeForce RTX 5090 Windforce Graphics card.
Internal supports the desk (which looks like a striking resemblance to the cooler Master HAF 700) up to 768 GB DDR5 R-DIMM memory over eight slots.
Storage comes in the form of a 1TB AI Top 100E cache SSD, built to endure heavy writing cycles and a 2TB Aorus Gen 4 SSD for primary use. Power is supplied by a 1600W AI Top Ultra Durable PSU, which is classified for 80 plus platinum and compatible with ATX 3.1.
The AI Top 500 offers a wide range of connection options. In front, users get four USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, audio in and out jacks and both power and reset buttons. On the back are six USB 3.2 Gen 2-ports, two USB4 40GBPS Type-C ports, double RJ-45 LAN ports, a DisplayPort input and two additional audio connectors.
The workstation also supports Multi-Node extension through Thunderbolt 5 and Dual 10G LAN, making it a practical opportunity for research laboratories or development teams.
The system is closely integrated with Gigabyte’s AI Top Utility -Software Platform, which helps users manage AI models, build data sets and monitor hardware in real time.
With support for up to 405 billion parameter models, gigabytes are targeted at users who need serious local calculation performance without relying on cloud resources…. And the players too, if its tagline of “Premium Gaming & Ai Empowered Desktop” should believe.
