1.4 Special features
1.4.1 Product highlights
Latest Processor Technology
The motherboard supports Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processor family which provides compelling
IPC increases for legacy performance improvements, oating point improvement, easier
multi-core programming, and with next-generation processor power management. Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processor family also improve the I/O capabilities and support UPI link speed
of up to 10.4GT/s.
Intel
®
AVX 512
Intel
®
AVX 2.0 extends 512-bit vector support for integer vector operations, doubles
xed point arithmetic throughput, adds support for new vector gather, permutes/blend,
vector shifts resulting in xed and oating-point algorithm improvements. Also, Intel's new
microarchitecture doubles the cache bandwidth at L1/L2 to support higher FLOPS and
contributes to greater performance in signal and image processing applications.
Next Generation of processor power management
Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processor family enhances the processor power management with the
features of Energy Efcient Turbo, Uncore Frequency Scaling, and Per-Core P-state. Also,
the Integrated Voltage Regulator enables generational performance and power improvements
that the standard VR solutions cannot provide.
DDR4 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR4 memory that features faster clock frequencies and higher
data transfer rates of 2133 MT/s to 2666 MT/s (million transfers per second). DDR4 offers a
lower voltage standard of 1.2V that reduces memory power demand and provides improved
performance.
1.3 Serial number label
Before requesting support from the ASUS Technical Support team, you must take note of
the motherboard's serial number containing 12 characters xxS2xxxxxxxx shown in the gure
below. With the correct serial number of the product, ASUS Technical Support team members
can then offer a quicker and satisfying solution to your problems.
