Innovation meets Performance
Wide choice of different types of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor
Family. Each processor offers up to 28 cores, up to 56 threads, 12
increased data rate between the CPUs. Intel® Optane™ DC persistent
memory is an innovative memory technology that delivers a
unique combination of affordable large capacity and persistence
(non-volatility). It revolutionizes the data center memory-storage
hierarchy of the past and brings massive data sets closer to the CPU
for faster time to insight. In total, up to 7,680 GB main memory in
a mixed mode (non-volatile memory + DDR4 @ 2,933 MT/s) are
available. What’s more is the support for up to 2x GPGPUs for fast
processing.
