Product Features
Performance and Scalability
⚫
Powered by the third-generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable Ice Lake processors, the server
provides up to 40 cores, 3.6 GHz frequency, a 60 MB L3 cache, and up to three 11.2
GT/s UPI links between the processors, which deliver supreme processing performance.
−
It supports up to two processors with 80 cores and 160 threads to maximize the
concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
−
The L2 cache capacity is increased. Each core exclusively occupies 1.25 MB L2
cache, and at least 1.5 MB L3 cache.
−
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run faster than the
frequency specified in the Thermal Design Power (TDP) configuration if they are
operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
−
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables each processor core to run up to two
threads, improving parallel computation capability.
−
The hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) allows
operating system (OS) to better use hardware to address virtualization workloads.
−
Intel DL Boost (VNNI) is supported to improve the performance of deep learning
applications.
−
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) significantly accelerates
floating-point performance for computing-intensive applications.
⚫
The server supports a maximum of 16 DDR4 ECC 3200 MT/s DIMMs. The DDR4 ECC
DIMMs support registered DIMMs (RDIMM) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs),
which provide high speed and availability. A server supports a maximum memory
capacity of 2048 GB and a maximum memory bandwidth of 400 GB/s in theory.
⚫
It supports 2 M.2 SSDs. The SSDs deliver higher I/O performance than HDDs. An SSD
supports approximately 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical
HDD.
⚫
With Intel integrated I/O, the third-generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processors integrate
the PCIe 4.0 controller to shorten I/O latency and improve overall system performance.
⚫
The server supports one half-height half-length PCIe 4.0 standard card.
⚫
One slot dedicated for the OCP 3.0 network adapter.
Availability and Serviceability
⚫
Carrier-class components with process expertise ensure high system reliability and
availability.
