Product Details
With enterprise-rich features, GIGABYTE has created a high-performance workstation and offers choices of motherboards that target diverse applications, from media & entertainment to architecture and design. These products are tailored for the Threadripper PRO 5000WX and 3000WX series of processors on the sWRX8 chipset. The motherboards, MC62-G40 and MC62-G41, differ in only the LAN ports. The -G41 has a single 1GbE LAN port, whereas the -G40 has an additional dual 10GbE LAN ports. The product differentiation came as a result of there being two market segments with one that prefers fast onboard ethernet and the other that prefers less thrills at a lower price. Also, the -G40 is the same motherboard in the W771-Z00.
