SUPERMICRO LAUNCHES PCI-E GEN 2 SERVERS/WORKSTATIONS.Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :SMCI SMCI Senior Military Customs Inspector (US Army) SMCI Super Micro Computer Inc. ), San Jose, Calif., a leader in application optimized high performance server solutions, today launched new lines of motherboards, servers and workstations optimized for 1600 FSB (FrontSide Bus) See system bus. FSB - front side bus Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5400 Series (Harpertown) and Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5200 Series (Wolfdale-DP) processors. These latest dual-processor (DP) server and workstation solutions deliver sharply increased performance, energy efficiency and memory capacity. "With support for a 1600 MHz dual point-to-point CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. bus and 800 MHz 1.5V FB-DIMM memory, as well as Gen 2 PCI-Express, our new SuperServers and workstations based on the Intel 5400 (Seaburg) chipset deliver more than 30% system performance gains*," said Charles Liang, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Supermicro. "These highly scalable solutions offer more high-performance expansions slots and double the I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output bandwidth capacity of Gen 1 PCI-Express. Optimized for memory-hungry applications, Supermicro already fully supports low-power 1.5-volt fully-buffered DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus.

DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 2 (FBD FBD Fluid(ized) Bed Dryer FBD Fully Buffered DIMM (memory) FBD Free Body Diagram FBD Far Beyond Driven (album) FBD Functional Block Diagram(s) ) memory on these new solutions to maximize energy efficiency and save up to 40 watts on memory power consumption per system." "The new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series and Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5200 series processors are enabling Supermicro to provide its customers with new levels of performance and flexibility in DP server solutions," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation. "The breakthrough performance per watt of these new Intel Xeon processors is enabling Supermicro to innovate around highly scalable designs from 1U to 4U and tower servers." Designed for 2U and 4U servers, Supermicro's X7DWN DWN Debian Weekly News DWN Dismounted Warrior Network DWN Download File + serverboard features 16 FBDIMM FBDIMM Fully Buffered DIMM (version of DRAM) slots for up to 128 GB of memory and seven high-performance expansion slots including three that support Gen 2 PCI-E See PCI Express. , and one UIO slot for flexible upgrades. Also based on the Intel 5400 (Seaburg) chipset, the new X7DWA-N workstation motherboard supports two PCI-E x16 Gen 2 slots for high-performance graphics, 7.1 high-definition audio and dual 1394 Firewire ports, making it an ideal high-performance graphics/CAD engineering workstation platform. Other outstanding Seaburg chipset-based server platforms being introduced by Supermicro include the X7DWU, X7DWT, X7DWT-INF, and X7DWE. The X7DWU platform delivers flexible UIO server solutions with up to three add-on cards in a 1U form factor or seven add-on cards (including four full-height) in a 2U. As the latest 1U Twin(TM) platforms, two X7DWT or X7DWT-INF serverboards fit into a single 1U chassis to provide two nodes per 1U of rack space or up to 84 nodes per 42U rack. Meanwhile, the feature-rich X7DWE serverboard with five PCI-E x8 of which four are Gen 2, making it ideal for a wide range of server applications. Supermicro systems optimized for the new Quad-Core Xeon 5400 and Dual-Core 5200 Series processors include the following: SuperServer 6015W-UR Flexible 1U UIO server supports three add-on cards (one can be UIO) and four hot-swap SAS/SATA drives; UIO architecture enables easy upgrades to multiple internal and external SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System.
