Introduction

Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors. Extend Your Scale. Introducing GIGABYTE's new generation of motherboards and systems built around Intel's Skylake Purley architecture - 'Intel Xeon Scalable'. This new product family provides a wealth of new options in scalability - across compute, network and storage - to deliver solutions for a range of applications. GIGABYTE's system design and engineering expertise applied to this Intel Xeon Scalable series enables it to meet the increasingly diverse requirements of the industry, from entry-level HPC to large scale clusters. Intel's Xeon Scalable platform brings improved features and functionality at both the host and fabric levels. These enable performance improvements - both natively on chip and for future extensibility through compute, network and storage peripherals. Memory Optimization - Memory speed of up to 2666MHz - Up to 12 DIMMs per socket Storage - Built in support for VROC - Intel Optane ready Networking - Intel Omni-Path ready Increased Memory Performance The CPU architecture allows for up to 6 memory channels per socket and a bandwidth of up to 2666MHz. The architecture is future-ready with the potential to support Apache Pass DIMM. Memory capacity benefits with up to available 12 DIMMs per socket, which represents a 50% generation-on-generation increase. Innovative Storage, Security and Networking Storage - Innovative storage options through Intel OptaneT low-latency, non-volatile design. - These systems ship as standard with a Virtual Raid-On-CPU (VROC*) module to enable software raid on connected SSDs.(* VROC is available by default on NVMe SKU) - Support for SATA-DOM is available to allow for standalone boot and diagnostics direct through SATA connections on the board. Security - Integrated QAT for improved compression and security with software. On the hardware side, extra encryption on-board is enabled by TPMs available from GIGABYTE. Networking - Improved networking through Omni-Path interconnect fabric as a CPU-integrated or standalone device.
