Processor And Chipset Overview - Supermicro X11DPH-Tq User Manual

1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx Series
processors (Socket P) and the Intel C622/C624/C628 chipset (Note below), this motherboard
provides superb system performance, efficient power management, and a rich feature set
based on cutting edge technology to address the needs of next-generation computer users.
With support of Intel® UltraPath Interconnect (UPI) of up to 10.4 GT/s, Intel® AVX-512 new
instructions, and Intel® QuickAssist Technology, this motherboard offers an innovative solution
with maximum system performance to meet the ongoing demands of High Performance
Computing (HPC) platforms. This motherboard is optimized for general purpose server use.
The Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx Series processor and the Intel C622/C624/C628
chipset support the following features:
•
Intel® AVX-512 support with memory bandwidth increase to 6 channels (x1.5 from the
previous generation)
•
High availability interconnect between multiple nodes
•
Rich set of available IOs, full flexibility in usage model, and software stack
•
Dedicated subsystems for customer innovation
•
Increased platform security with Intel® Boot Guard for hardware-based boot integrity pro-
tection; prevention of buffer overflow class security threads
•
Integrated solution for real-time compression, streaming write & read performance in-
creases from gen-to-gen
•
Hot plug and enclosure management with Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD)
•
Single standard server development (Accelerate NFV transition) consolidating application,
control, and data plane workloads, reducing total platform investment needs
•
Intel QuickAssist Technology off-loads compute-intensive tasks from cores
Note: Intel C622 is for X11DPH-i, C624 for X11DPH-T, and C628: X11DPT-Tq.
