Everyone wants to know what s in Intel s new Ice Lake Xeon server platform, right? Well the first promited board has been disclosed: Axiomtek (who?) has unveiled its latest motherboard compatible with Intel s Xeon Scalable Ice Lake processors based on the LGA4189 socket. The Axiomtek IMB700 is an ATX-sized solution with six memory slots capable of supporting up to 384 GB in hex-channel, with two Gigabit Ethernet ports six SATA-600 storage slots.
During the virtual Hot Chips 2020 industry event show, during our live blog of Intel s segment, Intel unveiled some details about its upcoming Ice Lake Xeon Scalable processors. Based on Intel s 10nm+ manufacturing process, we confirmed that Intel had started production on its Ice Lake-SP chips at the beginning of the year. With not much furor surrounding expected motherboard models at the moment, Axiomtek has unveiled its IMB700 with a single LGA4189 socket based on Intel s C621A chipset. Note that this is the same family of chipsets as c
Intel believes Optane memory technology is a “disruptive, once-in-a-decade invention” that requires a system-level approach to enable performance gains and other benefits for data-intensive workloads. NAND SSD technology can’t deliver on the same level of performance and reliability but remains a large, important and economical part of the storage equation albeit in the hands of a different owner.
Those were two of the takeaways from Intel executives and architects speaking at the company’s virtual Memory and Storage Moment event last week, where the chipmaker revealed new Optane memory and SSD products as well as new NAND SSD products, covering both the data center and PC markets.
Intel Makes Case For Optane’s Future As NAND Biz Splits Off
‘NAND needs greater scale to go after the world‘s insatiable appetite for more data, and Optane needs platform-connected solutions to focus on faster insights on that data,’ Intel’s Rob Crooke says, explaining the rationale for selling the NAND business and keeping the Optane memory technology.
