AMD EPYC™ Processors The New x86 Option AMD''s return to the CPU segment delivers a whole new value proposition to the x86 world. Built on GIGABYTE''s extensive design expertise across a range of chipset platforms, this AMD EPYC™ platform is already receiving acclaim for its high specification: Memory I/O Network connectivity This platform is intended as an alternative for builders in the x86 space and packs a real punch in flexibility and expansion options. CPU Key Features Memory OptimizationMemory speed of up to 2666MHz (at 1DPC)Total memory capacity of 4TB supported PCIe LanesUp to 128 lanes in both 1P and 2P offerings providing the highest expandability options of any x86 platform Cores / PowerCPU power is managed at the core level, meaning that power is allocated only for specific workload needs SecurityProprietary AMD security on chip Comprehensive I/O Both single- and dual-socket CPUs come equipped with 128x PCIe lanes, providing extensive I/O options. This is a huge improvement in I/O vs. incumbent x86 offerings.Increased I/O allows for flexibility in extending your storage, networking or compute to a level previously unattainable with standard server motherboards.In addition, the integrated nature of the processor - designed as a system-on-chip (SoC) - means that there is no need for a separate PCH and less additional switches needed for expansion lanes.
