Supermicro has optimized its X11 server and storage systems to fully leverage

the performance advantages of the latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

(formerly codenamed Cascade Lake-R or CLX-R) that extend the unique

capabilities including built-in AI acceleration with Intel Deep Learning Boost

and support for Intel Optane persistent memory. Supermicro's advanced thermal

management and power supply designs allow these new processors to achieve their

full potential in the most comprehensive lineup of server systems on the market.

"At Supermicro, we always offer customers access to the very latest

technologies as early as possible to help them drive leading performance and

improved TCO with better server performance at the same price level," said

Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. "With the industry's strongest

and greenest product line, our designs take full advantage of the latest 2nd

Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors to provide up to 36% better

performance at the same price level or up to 61% lower processor cost for

equivalent performance versus current offerings*."

The extensive portfolio of systems includes Supermicro's Ultra, BigTwin(TM),

SuperBlade(R), GPU Systems, Workstations, and others with multiple new

processor offerings that deliver increased frequency, core count, and/or cache

configurations to boost customers' performance and value options at many of

their most popular price points. When equipped with these new processor models,

existing Supermicro X11 platforms can deliver higher performance at the same or

lower price points than existing models.

"Systems with the latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors provide the

performance, capabilities, and innovations that accelerate application

performance and AI-infused insights across compute, storage and network

workloads," said Lisa Spelman, corporate vice president and general manager of

the Xeon and Memory Group at Intel. "Supermicro's platforms will help customers

take full advantage of the higher performance and value of our latest Xeon

Scalable processors."
