G3NZGIGABYTE Supercharges Server Lineup with Intel® Xeon® 6700/6500-Series Processors
In a move that’s sure to delight tech enthusiasts and IT professionals alike, GIGABYTE has announced its latest rack servers, now turbocharged with Intel® Xeon® 6700/6500-series processors.
These new processors boast a whopping 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes, making them the automotive equivalent of strapping a rocket engine to a sports car.
More Lanes, More Gains
The Intel® Xeon® 6700 and 6500-series processors come in two flavors: one with up to 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes (dubbed R1S) and another with 88 PCIe lanes.
GIGABYTE’s new rack servers—models R264-SG2, R264-SG3, R264-SG5, R164-SG5, and R164-SG6—are optimized for the R1S processors.
This means they can handle a smorgasbord of storage options, dual-slot GPUs, and additional expansion slots, including support for OCP NIC 3.0.
Whether you’re running a data center, managing edge computing tasks, or just trying to impress your tech-savvy friends, these servers have got you covered.
A Server That Does It All
Take the R264-SG5, for example. This beast supports up to twenty-eight E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives and still has room for a dual-slot (Gen5 x16) GPU.
It’s like the Swiss Army knife of servers—versatile, powerful, and ready for anything you throw at it.
Keeping Up with the Times
But wait, there’s more! GIGABYTE isn’t just rolling out new hardware; they’re also ensuring that your existing servers don’t get left in the digital dust.
With a simple BIOS update, servers currently running Intel’s scalable processors can now support the new Intel® Xeon® 6700/6500-series processors.
It’s like giving your old server a shot of espresso—suddenly, it’s awake and ready to tackle modern workloads.
Entry-Level Doesn’t Mean Boring
For those who think “entry-level” is synonymous with “yawn,” think again.
The new Intel® Xeon® 6300-series processors are designed for small businesses and cloud services that need reliable performance without breaking the bank.
GIGABYTE’s servers equipped with these processors offer a power-efficient solution that’s as dependable as your morning coffee.
Catch Us If You Can
GIGABYTE is so proud of these new offerings that they’re taking them on the road.
You can catch a glimpse of these cutting-edge servers at MWC (March 3-6) booth #5F60 in Spain and at CloudFest (March 17-20) booth #E03 in Germany. It’s like a world tour, but for servers.
