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.
