Accelerating Artificial Intelligence and Leading Efficiency
Engineering richer features in a revolutionary platform, Intel has made an incredible jump in processor performance in the business transformation journey. AI and deep learning performance will benefit from the built-in AI acceleration engines, while networking, storage, and analytics leverage other specialized accelerators in the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor. Adding a host of new features to target a wide range of workloads, the new family of Xeon processors will deliver even better CPU performance and performance per watt, and do so on a PCIe 5.0 platform with 2x the prior gen throughput to greatly speed up data movement to and from GPUs and storage. Other new features include High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) in the Intel Xeon Max series CPUs and support for Intel Optane Persistent Memory 300 Series. For this new platform, has products ready to get the most out of Xeon CPU-based systems that support fast PCIe Gen5 accelerators and Gen5 NVMe drives, in addition to support for high performant DDR5 memory.

High Performance
Support Various Computing Accelerators
servers have been tested and validated across a range of workloads with various computing accelerators designed to deliver high levels of performance for 3D rendering, deep learning and high-performance computing, which enables content creators, data scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle challenges that were once impossible.
Power Efficiency
Automatic Fan Speed Control
servers are enabled with Automatic Fan Speed Control to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. Individual fan speeds will be automatically adjusted according to temperature sensors strategically placed in the servers.
High Availability
Smart Ride Through (SmaRT)
To prevent server downtime and data loss as a result of loss of AC power, implements SmaRT in all our server platforms. When such an event occurs, the system will throttle while maintaining availability and reducing power load. Capacitors within the power supply can supply power for 10-20ms, which is enough time to transition to a backup power source for continued operation.
Smart Crises Management and Protection (SCMP)
SCMP is a patented feature which is deployed in servers with non-fully redundant PSU design. With SCMP, in the event of faulty PSU or overheated system, the system will force the CPU into an ultra-low power mode that reduces the power load, which prevents the system from unexpected shutdown and avoids component damage or data loss.
Dual ROM Architecture
If the ROM that stores the BMC and BIOS fails to boot, the system will reboot with the backup BMC and/or BIOS replacing the primary. Once the primary BMC is updated, the ROM of the backup BMC will automatically update the backup through synchronization. For the BIOS, it can be updated based on user's choice of firmware version.
Hardware Security
Optional TPM 2.0 Module
For hardware-based authentication, the passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates are stored in a TPM module to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to your data. TPM modules come in either a Serial Peripheral Interface or Low Pin Count bus.
