GIGABYTE has announced their next generation of enterprise servers (and in their case, server motherboards as well) that support the new 4th-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (which include those with HBM in the Intel Xeon Max Series). In total, there are 14 new series that comprise 78 different configurations, giving their customers a comprehensive range to choose from.

The new GIGABYTE servers leverage the 4^th-gen Xeon processors’ ability to maximize performance efficiency for emerging workloads, as they offer more built-in accelerators than any other processor available in the market. They are also optimized for boosting virtualization and AI performance and are suitable for various applications, such as AI, cloud computing, advanced analytics, high-performance computing, networking, and storage.

Key Generational Technologies and Advancements
Per-Core Performance	Up to 60 cores per socket and improved instructions per clock cycle
Memory Bandwidth and Speed Increase	8 channel DDR5, up to 4800 MT/s (1 DPC) New High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for memory bandwidth-bound workloads
I/O Bandwidth Increase	Support for 80 lanes of PCIe Gen5 per socket
Integrated Accelerators	Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX) – INT8 and BFloat16 support, and Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512)
Built-in accelerators for analytics, networking, and storage workloads	Support for CXL 1.1+ devices in 4 x16 IO lanes

Here’s a quick rundown of the new GIGABYTE Enterprise Servers and Motherboards

M-Series Motherboards – Single and dual socket options supporting Gen4 NVMe drives and PCIe 5.0 devices.
New series: MS73, MS03, MS33
- MS73-HB0: dual-socket motherboard with four LAN ports (2x10GbE and 2x1GbE) that supports high-speed memory and multiple PCIe 5.0 expansion slots for GPUs, storage, and networking
R-series Rackmount Servers – 1U and 2U general-purpose systems, offering the best balance of compute, memory, storage, and expandability.
New series: R283, R183, R162, R163, R263
- R163-S32: 1U server supporting storage options for SATA and/or U.2 drives in twelve bays
G-Series GPU Servers – 2U or 4U systems offering industry-leading GPU density due to excellent thermal and mechanical design, and built for HPC, AI, and high-performance parallel processing.
New series: G293, G593
- G293-S41: dual-socket GPU server supporting eight dual-slot (PCIe Gen5) GPUs with SATA and U.2 drive bays
H-Series High-density 2U 4-node Servers – combining four hot-swappable nodes in a 2U chassis, offering extreme CPU compute density excellent for HPC, virtualization, cloud, and edge computing.
New series: H263
- H263-S62: 2U 4-node server with 24 x 2.5” U.2/SAS/SATA drive bays (direct liquid cooling supported)
E-Series Edge Servers – 1U and 2U short-depth servers with options for IO on front or rear, moving data collection away from data centers and improving latency.
New series: E283, E263, E163
- E163-S30: Short form factor server ideal for edge deployment with redundant power supplies and expansion slots for FHHL PCIe or OCP 3.0 devices
