  |
|
<p><p>
The Sandy Bridge based Xeon E5-2600 processors were launched by Intel yesterday, and Supermicro wasn't far behind in launching a host of solutions supporting / based on these processors. The new generation X9 Xeon E5 family based platforms offer a number of improved features over previous offerings from Supermicro, including but not limited to:</p>
<ol>
<li>
Support for upto 768 GB of DDR3-1600 MHz memory in 24 DIMM slots</li>
<li>
SATA 3.0 and SAS 2.0 (6 Gbps) support</li>
<li>
ConnectX FDR/QDR InfiniBand ports</li>
<li>
Dual 10 GbE Ethernet / Quad Ethernet LAN</li>
<li>
PCI-E 3.0</li>
<li>
LSI 2008 (Software RAID) and LSI 2108 (Hardware RAID) controllers</li>
</ol>
<p>
More than 100 product platforms have been updated / newly created by Supermicro for the new Xeon E5 processor family.</p>

<p>
Supermicro's X9 solutions can be broadly divided into the following categories:</p>
<ol>
<li>
Supermicro Servers</li>
<li>
Supermicro Serverboards</li>
<li>
Supermicro SuperBlade</li>
</ol>
<p>
The servers are built around the boards in the second category, and just build upon the existing chassis / PSU combinations. The SuperBlade configurations and some of the serverboards in the X9 generation have only been announced on paper.</p>
<p>
The table below summarizes the specifications of Supermicro's single socket LGA2011 serverboards which are currently available.</p>
