See What ASRock Rack Has Got Lined Up For Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Platform

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more pervasive in the market, ASRock Rack is introducing 5 new motherboard designs based on the new Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor platform and can deliver up to 2.2x more machine learning inference and training performance for AI.

The new Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor marks a significant milestone in processor architecture for Intel, with upgrades from AVX2 to AVX-512 instructions, and a 1.5 times increase in memory bandwidth from 4 to 6 channels. This new processor supports an integrated host fabric interface (HFI), and up to 100Gbp bandwidth with the Omni-Path architecture. It significantly improves scalability and resilience with new IO capabilities by expanding to 48 PCI-E lanes which allows more possibilities for hardware acceleration and high-end storage. Meanwhile, the server platform supports Intel® Ethernet Connection X722 which has 4x10GbE with RDMA.

In collaboration with Intel, ASRock Rack has launched 7 different, new server motherboards and 2 barebone systems based on the Intel Xeon Scalable Processor. Each different motherboard has targeted market segments served by a variety of form factors from rack, to blade and pedestal. ASRock Rack’s goal is to always provide leading server technology and to provide the ability to upgrade a wide suite of existing applications.
