Increased Memory Performance

• The CPU architecture allows for up to 6 memory channels per socket and a bandwidth of up to 2666MHz.
• The architecture is future-ready with the potential to support Apache Pass DIMM.
• Memory capacity benefits with up to available 12 DIMMs per socket, which represents a 50% generation-on-generation increase.

Innovative Storage, Security and Networking

Storage

VROC

• Innovative storage options through Intel Optane™ low-latency, non-volatile design.
• NVMe SKU systems ship with a Virtual Raid-On-CPU (VROC) module as standard to enable software raid on connected U.2 SSDs
• Support for SATA-DOM is available to allow for standalone boot and diagnostics direct through SATA connections on the board.

Security

• Integrated QAT for improved compression and security with software. On the hardware side, extra encryption on-board is enabled by TPMs available from GIGABYTE.

Networking

• Fully compatible with Mellanox networking products.
• Improved networking through Omni-Path interconnect fabric as a CPU-integrated or standalone device.

High Density HPC

Supports 8 x Computing Cards

Able to support up to 8 double slot GPGPU or co-processor cards, the G291 enables world-leading HPC within a 2U chassis. The G291 is ideal for accelerating development of AI, deep learning, real time analytics, programs in scientific simulation and modeling, engineering, visualization & rendering, data mining, and much more.
