Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABTE and an industry leader in high-performance servers, server motherboards, and workstations, announced two new workstation motherboards, GIGABYTE MW83-RP0 and MW53-HP0, built to support the Intel® Xeon® W-3400 or Intel Xeon W-2400 desktop workstation processors. The new CPU platform, developed on the Intel W790 chipset, is the first workstation platform in the market that supports both DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technology, and this platform excels at demanding applications such as complex 3D CAD, AI development, simulations, 3D rendering, and more.
Two Distinct Motherboards and Two Distinct Platforms
Of the two new GIGABYTE motherboards, the slightly larger 12”x10.5” motherboard, MW83-RP0, is more feature rich than the standard ATX board, MW53-HP0. The MW83 is designed specifically for the expert workstation Intel Xeon W-3400 series processors with up to 56 cores and 112 PCIe lanes, while the MW53 is built for the mainstream workstation Intel Xeon W-2400 series processors with up to 24 cores and 64 PCIe lanes. Additionally, both motherboards support up to 2TB of memory with eight memory DIMMs; however, the Xeon W-3400 platform has 8-channel memory while the W-2400 platform has 4-channel memory. So, from a processor point of view there is clear product differentiation and that carries over to the two choices of GIGABYTE workstation motherboards as well.
