Support: 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family Ready

GIGABYTE’s servers are fully ready to support the second generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family processors, codenamed “Cascade Lake”, which bring the following major enhancements:

  • Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory:

    Built-in support for this revolutionary new product based on Intel’s 3D Xpoint technology

  • Overall Performance:

    Higher CPU frequencies, improved turbo profiles vs. prior-gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

  • Increased DDR4 Memory Speed & Capacity:

    Up to 2933MHz (1 DIMM per channel on some SKUs), 16Gb based DIMM supported

  • Intel Deep Learning Boost:

    Significantly accelerates inference performance for deep learning workloads optimized to use VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions)

  • Security:

    Hardware mitigations for Meltdown / Spectre security vulnerabilities

Efficient, Reliable Power Supply

GIGABYTE SERVER Xeon Scalable servers are designed to guarantee high conversion efficiency regardless of load. Redundant 80 Plus ‘Titanium’ or ‘Platinum’ PSUs, combined with GIGABYTE’s precision engineering, translates to super efficient power usage which maximizes the system’s power : performance ratio and reduces OPEX for the user.

Intelligent Power Management Features

To take advantage of the fact that a PSU will run at greater power efficiency with a higher loading, GIGABYTE has introduced a power management feature called Cold Redundancy for servers with dual PSU. When the total system loading falls lower than 40%, the system will automatically place one PSU into standby mode, enabling the other PSU to take over the greater load. This can enable total system power efficiency savings of up to 10%.

SCMP (Smart Crises Management / Protection)

SCMP is a GIGABYTE patented feature that will automatically force the system’s CPU to enter ULFM (ultra-low frequency mode for minimum power consumption) when the BMC is alerted to a PSU fault or error (such as power loss, power surge, overheating or a fan problem). This feature will prevent shutdown in systems with less than 1 + 1 PSU redundancy when one PSU is lost. In a 2U 4 Node server, only two nodes will be switched to low power mode, while two remaining nodes can continue normal operation. When the fault is resolved or the PSU is replaced, the system will automatically return to normal power mode.
