Enhanced Input/Output Capabilities: The adoption of PCIe 4.0 facilitates twice the data transfer speed compared to PCIe 3.0, enabling swift and substantial data movement. Additionally, each socket boasts 64 lanes, expanding to 128 in a dual-processor setup, ensuring rapid movement of data between the CPU, GPU, accelerators, or storage devices.

Amplified CPU Performance: With up to 40 cores per socket, the CPU efficiency soars on Intel's 10nm technology, coupled with a significant IPC uplift, while the CPUs are powered within a 105-270W envelope. An extra UPI lane has also been introduced, boosting speeds up to 11.2GT/s for a faster, low latency CPU interlink.

Revolutionized Memory Technology: Every processor now comes with eight channels for memory, accommodating 8 or 16 DIMM slots, supporting up to DDR4-3200. With two modes for sub-clustering—Sub NUMA (SNC) and Hemisphere (HEMI)—when utilizing balanced memory configurations, noticeable performance gains are observed. The inclusion of Intel Optane PMem 200 series further enriches memory capacity and sustains data for quicker processing of voluminous data sets.

Elevated Security Measures: The new instructions and architectural enhancements fortify data privacy and security through advanced cryptographic operations. This upgrade includes accelerated cryptographic processors, boosting encryption protocol efficiency, along with enhancements to software guard extensions and memory encryption.

AI Processing Leap: Acceleration in AI inference and training is realized with DL Boost Technology, leading to profound insights in business, operations, and security. This enhancement is vital for applications across high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and media & graphics realms.
