5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors unleashes up to 21% average general-purpose performance gain, significantly improving AI inference and training, all via the drop-in-compatible LGA-4677 socket. This innovation powerhouse accelerate AI, HPC, Analytics, Networking, Storage and offer eight DDR5-5600 memory channels for up to 2 TB capacity, 80 PCI Express® 5.0 lanes with CXL 1.1 support, and a 350 W TDP for 1P and 2P configurations — ready for the future of computing.
CPU-balanced Architecture
The new 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors excel at providing full features and functionality for both dual-socket and single-socket platforms, but our new servers ASUS is introducing an CPU-balanced architecture to enable secure and optimal CPU-performance efficiency.
This architecture extends the full bandwidth to either dual- or single-CPU configurations, enabling more computing capability and much-improved overall power efficiency for compute-intensive workloads. This architecture allows customers to take full advantage of bandwidth capabilities of the dual-CPU architecture with a single CPU, while offering the flexibility to upgrade later with the addition of a second CPU.
* Features, specification and design vary by models and configuration.
