Asus leaks new intel information

[williamcll]

At a recent Asus IoT conference in Korea, aside from new servers and small form-factor PC, a slide was shown to include details of the upcoming Ice lake-s that operates on the same architecture as cooper lake but with a node shrink as well as some new information regrading the next generation of Optane memory. Source is in Korean so this translation may be sketchy.

Asus was created by four engineers in the late 1980s. In addition to basic motherboards, the company has created and led trends in a variety of IT computing devices, including monitors, graphics cards, server and workstation routers, and laptops. They have received awards from the world's most respected IT companies, including Fortune and Forbes. In line with the era of ubiquitous computing, ASUS has added a lineup of ASUS IoT products to computers, laptops and IOT-related devices.

 

Asus Server is the world's No. 1 in 246 sectors in the 1P and 2P server benchmarks with nearly 20 years of manufacturing experience and SPEC ORG.

 

■ ASUS IoT-powered solutions from ASUS

 

▲ Mini PC for ASUS PE200U Edge Computing

 

Through its servers and various mini PCs, Asus has said that it will strive to stand up again in the field of IoT through business, customer-centered thinking and constant innovation and challenging spirit. Subsequently, Jung Woo-hyun, Deputy General Manager of Coit, an official distributor of Intel processors, took the microphone.

 

▲ Intel is launching a broad lineup of Xeon processors, including Platinum Gold, Silver, and Bronze. This year, the new 9000 Series Xeon processors are available.

 

▲ The Y model of Intel's scalable processor has speed select technology, the V model is a virtual machine (VM), and the S model is specialized for indexing and searching.

 

Lastly, the processor ending in T is capable of withstanding TJMAX temperatures by about 10 degrees compared to other Xeon processors.

Lastly, Intel's explanation of Optane DC persistent memory was followed. Optane memory is NAND flash-based storage that differs between processor and DDR system memory. In appearance, it looks a lot like DDR4 memory. In particular, Optane DC memory shows a significant performance improvement on a server that uses a lot of memory, that is, a dedicated server for a database in a data center. In particular, when a server is physically down and rebooted, all data remains intact until the server is down due to the characteristics of non-volatile memory.

 

Intel Works and Configures Optane Persistent Memory

 

The Asus Server Division gave a presentation.

 

Asus celebrated its 30th anniversary with 23 years of server and workstation business. Although it entered the server business late in Korea, last year, it has a market share of about 4K in the total server market, and it is expected to grow further this year.

 

Asus, ES300-E10

 

The server has entry-level performance and specifications that can be used as a processor or as a simple storage server. It is optimized for simple web services in data centers.

 

Asus, ESC8000 G4

 

Servers capable of using Intel's second-generation Xeon scalable processors can be equipped with up to eight GPUs, especially all 16x lanes of graphics cards equipped with the PLX chipset, and can connect directly or indirectly to the processor. Do it. As many GPUs are installed, it can be used for AI and deep learning. In addition, the RS540-E9-RS36-E storage server is a 4U-based server that can accommodate up to 36 storage units with a separate controller with up to 2GB of cache.

 

▲ Intel's New Server Processor Lineup

 

In the future, Intel will be divided into Cooper Lake 14nm and Ice Lake 10nm. From this processor, PCIe Gen4 will be officially supported, and storage and graphics cards will be released. By the time the processor came out, Asus said it would launch servers and workstations that support it.

 

Asus, RS Workstation Series

 

Asus has a lineup of processors with lower cost per core compared to processors in the general desktop area if you need multiple processors and multiple graphics cards for research purposes, so you can satisfy users who need video editing and streaming. Added.

 

▲ ASUS Mini PC product introduction

 

Starting with the best lineup, PA, the smallest size lineup ranges from the same stick-type Vivo PC.

 

▲ Asus Mini PC PA90

 

It is the world's most-rewarded award winner, which can be equipped with Z390 chipsets and NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards, starting with Intel's Core i9 processor. As processors and graphics cards have high specifications, they are designed to meet the needs of professional users. It offers a separate cooling solution that boasts low noise and, incidentally, supports Thunderbolt 3, making it easy to connect many peripherals that support it.

 

▲ Asus PB60G

 

The mini PC, which has two docking systems, sells a separate display module, with the choice of Quadro or GeForce GTX 1650. You can use up to seven monitors for Quidro and up to six monitors for GeForce.

 

▲ Asus Chrome Box

 

This mini PC is a Chrome OS-only system that can run Android-based smartphone apps and is completely secure because it is directly controlled by Google. Available with a chrome box, the Hangout option allows for touch screens and video conferencing.

 

▲ Introduction of ASUS AIoT products

 

▲ Asus PE200U series

 

The advantage of this series is that the computer can be powered via PoE on the switch hub, and the fanless design eliminates noise. In addition, serial ports and WLAN antennas can be purchased and configured as options. The operating system used ensures that the Windows 10 IoT version works at -20 degrees, ensuring high reliability even in extreme environments. Due to the nature of industrial systems, Asus has a long life cycle of about 10 years of steady sales.

 

▲ Overview of ASUS Control Center

 

This software technology allows a single main server to manage and maintain the overall resources of a computer on a client system. Asus has a separate naming, CSM, for motherboards and mini PCs, which can be used for free when purchased.

 

As control is centrally controlled through the Control Center, software and firmware can be upgraded to prevent the use of the USB ports of each system to maintain security. The client-side registry can also be edited. The controller panel available on the server supports a total of nine multilingual languages, including Korean.

 

▲ UI composition of Asus Control Center

 

You can manage your company's assets more proactively, including more computer and digital resources in the office. Remote client creation can be added to allow remote computer access. This can be generated and activated with a QR code on the ASUS Controller Center activation card. This software enables more efficient hardware software management within the company. It supports easy BIOS (firmware) update to support this, and it is also possible to install and uninstall separate software used in-house. And to give the company a group-like feel, ACC customers can put their own logos.

 

To prevent the external export of the most powerful data, you can also disable the client's registry editing and USB ports as a whole.

 

Even in a mobile environment, you can use all the features of ACC with a smartphone. It also supports connections via VPN. Asus provides a server solution free of charge. First of all, if the client has a product name of CSM, the motherboard is a licensed product of the client and can be used free of charge when the motherboard is purchased. In addition, ACC Enterprise products require a separate license fee.

Thoughts: My 2700x is rapidly becoming obsolete, Intel better give us something good for the next generation of core chips or else I'm going to buy the 3950X.

those are large server chips aren't they ._.

No, I'm just talking about my own desktop in the thoughts section.

Nothing on that slide is Ice lake-S, it's Ice Lake-SP and it was already known that this was going to use 10nm+.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/ice_lake_(server)

 

Ice Lake-S was also already known to be using 10nm+ as well, and there are products already on the market be it mobile only right now though.

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/ice_lake_(client)

 

The new information is how many cores these server CPUs are supposed to have, 38, other than that I don't see anything that relates to desktop at all?
