Where Compute Reigns
3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors – “Ice Lake”
GIGABYTE servers and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors deliver incredible 1P/2P performance from edge to data center with incredible gains in I/O throughput and workload demands that need high performing CPUs with large, yet optimized, memory configurations.
- Enhanced I/0: Support for PCIe 4.0 allows for double the throughput of PCIe 3.0 for fast and large data transfers. Also, 64 lanes per socket with up to 128 lanes in a 2P configuration for fast data transmission from CPU to GPU, accelerator or storage.
- CPU Performance Boost: Now up to 40 cores per socket with greatly improved IPC on Intel’s 10nm architecture while operating CPUs at 105-270W. Also, an additional UPI lane is added for up to 11.2GT/s for a low latency interconnect between CPUs.
- Next Gen Memory: Support for DDR4-3200MHz (1DPC or 2DPC) DIMM. 8 channel memory has been added with up to 16 DIMMs per socket delivering up to 4TB of system memory via usage of 256GB DDR4 DIMM. Additionally, 2/4/6/8-way interleaves for optimal configuration.
- Arrival of Intel Optane PMem 200 Series: Optimized for improvements in latency while increasing system memory up to 6TB per socket as a mix of PMem and DDR. The 200 Series also has support for memory mode to expand capacity and app direct mode to act as fast flash storage.
- Next Level Security: New instructions and architecture deliver a high level of cryptographic operations for data privacy and protection. Cryptographic accelerators speed up encryption protocols as well as improvements in software guard extensions and memory encryption are added.
- AI Acceleration: AI inference and training are enhanced with DL Boost Technology for greater business, operational, and security insights. Applications include HPC, AI, and Media & Graphics.
Accelerator Computing
Support 3 GPU cards and keep 2 FHFL AIC
Parallel processing with multiple GPUs are driving discoveries and powering AI and data analytics. Offering support for dual slot GPUs allows for the highest, dense GPU compute possible. Delivering the fastest throughput for data, PCIe Gen 4 lanes are all in x16 mode for a total bandwidth of 64GB/s per GPU.
Flexibility
Mixed storage for HDD capacity or SSD cache
GIGABYTE servers have incorporated a high level of flexibility. Servers can accommodate large capacity power supplies to support demanding processors. As well, mixed drives allow for varying form factors and storage speed protocols. Various expansion slots to house dual slot GPU cards or other accelerators, with additional options for NICs and OCP solutions.
Availability
Dual ROM ensure server operate independently
Downtime is not a word wanted to be heard in IT. The ability to have stable and continuous server operation is crucial for business operations. Steps have been taken with redundant PSUs, hot-swap drives, dual ROM, and fault tolerances to ensure GIGABYTE servers operate independently from anywhere.
