Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE and an industry leader in generative AI servers and advanced cooling technologies, today announced new GIGABYTE rack servers that are optimized for Intel Xeon 6700/6500-series processors with up to 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes. Additionally, GIGABYTE enterprise products support new Intel Xeon 6700/6500-series with P-cores and 6300-series.
New Servers Supporting Platform with Up to 136 PCIe Lanes
The new Intel Xeon 6700 and 6500-series have processor SKUs that are designed to support either up to 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes (referred to as R1S) or 88 PCIe lanes. Optimized for R1S processors, the new GIGABYTE rack servers (R264-SG2, R264-SG3, R264-SG5, R164-SG5, R164-SG6) make use of the additional PCIe lanes for diverse storage options, dual-slot GPUs, and additional expansion slots including support for OCP NIC 3.0. These servers will be deployed in applications such as storage, telecom, edge, and more. The new servers support Intel Xeon 6 processors using LGA 4710; however, they are further optimized to take advantage of the additional PCIe lanes when compared to other Intel Xeon 6 processors. A new server that exemplifies this advantage, the R264-SG5 supports up to twenty-eight E3.S Gen 5 NVMe drives, yet it has support for a dual-slot (Gen 5 x16) GPU.
BIOS Updates for Intel Xeon 6700/6500-series on Existing Servers
The new P-core variant of the 6700/6500-series uses the LGA 4710 socket, which has been in the market since last year supporting 6700-series with E-cores, so customers now have the choice of selecting the performance platform. With an update, existing servers for Intel’s scalable processors will support the new processors
BIOS Updates for Intel Xeon 6300-series
For an entry-level server solution, the new Intel Xeon 6300-series processors excel at applications used by small businesses and cloud services. Businesses that need a power and cost-efficient solution with server-grade reliability and management features use this platform. With the release of the Intel Xeon 6300-series, businesses have an updated processor that is compatible with Intel’s existing LGA 1700 platform. Customers that bought GIGABYTE products using Intel Xeon E-2400 processors can apply the BIOS update to support the 6300-series.
Utilizing new Intel Xeon 6 processors, Giga Computing continues to provide enterprise products with performance, value, and fast time to market.
