Case Study: Shockbyte achieves higher gaming server performance and density with DiGiCOR and AMD CPUs

Shockbyte boosts gaming server performance by 53% with DiGiCOR

Shockbyte, a global gaming and server hosting provider, faced challenges in scaling its infrastructure to handle massive spikes in demand during game launches while reducing power consumption and improving data center density. They partnered with vendor DiGiCOR to find a high-performance, efficient solution, ultimately selecting AMD EPYC and Ryzen server CPUs.

DiGiCOR implemented a solution based on Supermicro's MicroCloud servers equipped with AMD EPYC processors. This provided Shockbyte with a massive 53% increase in single-thread performance crucial for gaming, a 30% reduction in power draw per gigabyte of memory, and a dramatic improvement in data center density, allowing them to consolidate their fleet from over 2,000 machines to under a thousand. The performance and efficiency gains facilitated by DiGiCOR and AMD have been critical for Shockbyte's successful expansion into the US market.
