GIGABYTE today announced two new models of workstation motherboards and one new model dedicated to mission critical server applications. All the motherboards are based on the Intel Xeon processors E5-2600 product family and support 1600F 16GB RDIMM 1.35V modules clocked at 1600 MHz - a feature achieved through GIGABYTE's capabilities in design, PCB layout and BIOS fine-tuning.

Also, these three models are built with GIGABYTE?s digital PWM controllers, guaranteeing a dynamic power supply to the processor(s) and memory with an ultra-fast response time. When the CPU workload varies in function of the applications running, the Intel Turbo Boost Technology will do a dynamic overclock of the CPU cores, where the digital PWMs outshine the previous analog solutions. This way the CPU operations are much more stable.

The GA-7PESH3 gives the possibility to build a workstation within a standard full tower desktop case. With up to 16 cores, 32 threads, 4 double slot GPU/co-processors, and connections for a storage array of up to 13 drives, the user's workflow can be accelerated with many Teraflops of pure computing power.

The GA-7PESH3 can be equipped with up to four NVIDIA Tesla and Intel Xeon Phi co-processing cards, or with up to four NVIDIA Quadro or AMD FirePro cards working together in SLI/CrossFire modes.



It features the LSI 2008 controller, which provides SAS support for up to eight SAS 6Gbs drives.

The GA-7PESH3 can receive 128GB of DDR3 RDIMM ECC memory running at 1600MHz.

The GA-7PESH4 is a reliable base for business grade server applications. Built with the latest generation of network controller, optimized for virtualization, iSCSI and management related traffic, the GA-7PESH4 is designed to free the processors as much as possible from the network transfer loadings. Intense transfers will typically occupy up to 30% less computing resources compared to traditional LAN solutions. Also consumes less energy thanks to EEE and DMA coordination and supports OS2BMC and MCTP.

The GA-7PESH4 can receive 256GB of DDR3 RDIMM ECC memory running at 1600MHz.



Although the GA-6PXSV4 ATX model is suitable for tower workstation builds, the placement of its components and its airflow design has been optimized for rack integration. With a quad LAN solution and a remote management controller, the GA-6PXSV4 is ready for computing intensive applications in virtualized environments.



With three PCI-Express x16 Generation 3.0 slots supporting 3-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX modes, this motherboard can receive a trio of GPUs working together.

The GA-7PESH3 can receive 128GB of DDR3 RDIMM ECC memory running at 1600MHz.
