Supermicro has introduced three new compact edge computing systems based on AMD’s EPYC 4005 series processors, expanding its push into AI workloads beyond the traditional data center. The new lineup includes the AS-E300-14GR, AS-1116R-FN4, and AS-3015TR-i4.
The systems are designed for deployments where space is tight, power is limited, and dedicated IT support may not be readily available. That makes them a good fit for settings such as retail stores, manufacturing sites, healthcare environments, and branch offices, where companies increasingly process data locally rather than sending it back to centralized infrastructure.
Supermicro says the systems are built for real-time inference and other business-critical edge workloads, with a focus on keeping power consumption and operating costs in check. Use cases include loss prevention, frictionless checkout, and in-store analytics, as well as other applications that rely on fast on-site processing.
All three systems include security features that are becoming standard requirements in edge and distributed IT environments. They support TPM 2.0 and AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) to help protect workloads and data. Those features are paired with IPMI 2.0 remote management, which simplifies monitoring and administration for systems deployed far from centralized IT teams.
The platforms also include four GbE ports, enabling connections to point-of-sale infrastructure, cameras, and enterprise networks. This capability is important in edge environments where a single system may need to interface with multiple devices and applications simultaneously, particularly in retail and industrial settings.
At the processor level, the new systems are built around AMD’s EPYC 4005 series, based on the company’s Zen 5 architecture. The chips support DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5, with TDPs starting at 65W. Some models also feature AMD’s 3D V-Cache, which can boost performance in data-intensive workloads by improving access to frequently used data.
Supermicro AS-E300-14GR
First is the AS-E300-14GR, a compact 1U mini box system housed in a 2.5-liter enclosure. It supports up to 16-core processors and up to 192GB of DDR5 memory, and is designed for embedded or space-constrained environments. Supermicro said it is suited to point-of-sale applications via HDMI and MiniDisplay connectivity, as well as network gateway roles. It includes a dedicated out-of-band management port alongside four GbE ports.
The AS-E300-14GR is a Mini-1U embedded system that supports up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 memory across four DIMM slots, a substantial amount for a compact edge box.
On the storage side, it includes one internal 2.5-inch SATA bay, two M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe slots, and a low-profile PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for expansion or accelerator support. Connectivity is a strong point, with four 1GbE LAN ports, a dedicated BMC management port, rear USB 3.2 ports, HDMI 2.1, and Mini-DP. All of that fits inside a fan-based embedded chassis measuring just 264.8 x 43 x 225.8mm, making it a practical option for edge deployments where space is limited but performance, networking, and remote management still matter.

Supermicro AS-1116R-FN4
The AS-1116R-FN4 is a compact 1U rackmount system designed for installations where storage density and rack efficiency are priorities. It is geared toward branch offices and retail back-end consolidation, where organizations may want to consolidate multiple workloads into a smaller physical footprint.
The AS-1116R-FN4 takes a more rack-focused approach while keeping the footprint compact. It is also a Mini-1U system with a 249mm short-depth chassis and support for up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 memory. Storage is more flexible than in the smaller box system, with support for either two internal 2.5-inch NVMe bays or one internal 3.5-inch SATA bay, plus two M.2 PCIe 5.0 slots.
It also includes a low-profile PCIe 5.0 x16 expansion slot, four 1GbE LAN ports, a dedicated BMC management port, rear USB connectivity, HDMI 2.1, and Mini-DP. With a 200W Gold power supply, three counter-rotating fans, and remote management support, it is well-suited for branch, retail back-end, and other edge deployments that require server-class features in a very compact rackmount chassis.

Supermicro AS-3015TR-i4
Lastly, the AS-3015TR-i4 is a slim tower system designed for quieter environments and for easier installation in edge locations without dedicated server rooms. The data sheet was unavailable; however, the tower can accommodate a dual-slot GPU measuring 2.7 inches high by 6.6 inches long, including support for a dual-slot GPU such as the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell. The 9-liter chassis also includes options for a slim optical drive and a 3.5-inch disk drive, providing additional flexibility for edge deployments that still require local media or storage.
