The new Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX) are built into the CPU chip. Supermicro’s X13 systems also include hardware protected by ‘Root of Trust’ firmware. (RoT) per NIST 800-193, in addition to benefiting from Supermicro’s supply chain certification and the ‘Made in theUSA program ‘ for greater security from production to the end customer.

“5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors deliver significant performance and efficiency improvements for our customers’ most critical workloads,” said Lisa Spelman , Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Intel Xeon Products and Solutions. “Supermicro’s X13 server range is designed to give customers the fastest path to increased performance through compatibility with existing 4th generation Xeon-based platforms.”

Among the new additions to the wide range of X13 servers is a new dual-processor GPU server with 8 Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 OAM optimized for large-scale AI training, generative AI and HPC applications. Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550 GPUs utilize the open-standard Open Accelerator Module (OAM) form factor for flexible, high-speed interconnect and contain 128 GB of HBM2e memory for a maximum GPU memory bandwidth of 3,276. 8GB/s. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling of the CPU and GPU is available in the system through full rack integration and Supermicro liquid cooling solutions.

Supermicro is also launching several new servers that support new Intel Xeon E-2400 processors (previously codenamed Catlow Platform, Raptor Lake-E). The new systems are optimized for edge and cloud workloads at maximum efficiency and include flexible I/O, storage-optimized, short-depth, and mid-tower WIO configurations, as well as Supermicro MicroCloud and Supermicro MicroBlade architectures. =1>® of several nodes. The new Intel Xeon E-2400 processors have up to 8 cores and a maximum frequency of 5.6 GHz. These servers are available for immediate shipment.

Supermicro’s X13 systems portfolio is performance-optimized, energy-efficient, incorporates enhanced manageability and security, supports open industry standards, and is rack-scale optimized.

Optimized performance

• Support for 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors with up to 64 cores and 350W (air-cooled) or 385W (liquid-cooled) TDP, as well as higher-performing current-generation PCIe, OAM, and SXM GPUs.
• Support for DDR5-5600 memory, which accelerates data movement to and from CPUs, improving execution times.
• Support for PCIe 5.0, which doubles bandwidth for peripherals, reducing communication time for storage or hardware accelerators.
• Support for Compute Express Link (CXL 1.1), enabling applications to share resources and work with much larger data sets than ever before.
• Built-in Intel accelerator engines for workload-specific acceleration. These include Intel AMX for AI, Intel DSA for networking and storage, Intel IAA for memory-bound applications, Intel DLB for load balancing, and Intel vRAN Boost for increased efficiency in mobile networking workloads.
• Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) will be generally available with 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors.
• AI and Metaverse ready with a wide range of powerful GPUs.
• Support for multiple 400G InfiniBand and data processing units (DPU) enables real-time cooperation with extremely low latencies.

Energy efficiency with reduced operational expenses of data centers

• The systems can run in high-temperature data center environments up to 35°C (95°F), which reduces cooling costs.
• The configuration of many system SKUs can support up to 42°C for outdoor cooling, with many other SKUs supporting liquid cooling options.
• Support for multiple airflow cooling zones for maximum CPU and GPU performance.
• The internal design of Titanium-grade power supplies ensures greater operational efficiency.

More security and better manageability

• In general, Intel TDX is available on 5th Gen Intel Xeon for hardware-based trusted execution environments to facilitate the deployment of trust domains for hardware-isolated virtual machines.
