Processors
Supermicro X13 systems take advantage of the new processors'
built-in workload accelerators, enhanced security features, higher
core count, more last-level cache, and increased performance within
the same power envelope as the previous generation of Intel Xeon
processors. The 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors provide a
36%3 higher average performance/watt across workloads
vs. 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
The new Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX) are built
into the CPU die. Supermicro X13 systems also include firmware
protected hardware root of trust (RoT) compliant with NIST 800-193,
as well as benefiting from Supermicro's supply chain attestation
and 'Made in the USA' program for
added security from production to end customer.
"5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors deliver meaningful performance
and efficiency improvements for our customers' most important
workloads," said Lisa Spelman,
corporate vice president and general manager Xeon Products &
Solutions at Intel. "Supermicro's X13 range of servers are designed
to give customers the fastest path to increased performance given
their compatibility with 4th Gen Xeon based platforms already in
the market."
Among the new additions to the broad X13 server range is a new
dual processor GPU server with 8 Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 OAM
GPUs optimized for large-scale AI training, generative AI, and HPC
applications. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 GPUs utilizes the
open-standard Open Accelerator Module (OAM) form factor for
flexible high-speed interconnect and contains 128GB of HBM2e memory
for a maximum GPU memory bandwidth of 3276.8 GB/second. Both CPU
and GPU direct-to-chip liquid cooling are available on the system
via Supermicro's complete rack integration and liquid cooling
solutions.
