MX11-PC0 Server Motherboard Overview

GIGABYTE MX11-PC0 Overview

NVMe Technology

The MX11-PC0 is built with a mini-SAS HD connector capable to connect one NVMe drive to the motherboard. With higher IOPS, lower latency, and lower power consumption, the NVMe technology is designed to deliver much faster data transfer performance between a storage device and the processor. Compared to other of types of storage connectivity, NVMe has up to:

6 x

larger bandwidth than SATA III
3 x

lower latency than SATA III
4 x

larger bandwidth than SAS3
7 x

lower latency than SAS3

Supports the Intel Xeon E3-1200 V5 Processors

Formerly known as Greenlow, this new generation of single socket server and workstation processors is based on the 14nm process technology but comes with the new Skylake microarchitecture.

Among the main features of this new product family is the adoption of the DDR4 memory technology within the Xeon E3 line of processors, which brings a significant memory speed and capacity boost over the previous generation (up to 64GB at 2133MHz). The other big new feature is the increase of the number and speed of PCIe lanes available from 8 Gen2 lanes to up to 20 Gen3 lanes, which allows much wider board configuration possibilities.

DDR4 Memory Support

The Intel Xeon E3-1200 V5 product family is the first generation of Xeon E3 processors to support the DDR4 memory technology. Compared to DDR3, this new generation brings:

+50%

Bandwidth Performance
-35%

Power Consumption @ 2DPC
-50%

Power Consumption @ 3DPC
