ASRock Rack has introduced the industry's first motherboard for Intel's latest Xeon W-2400 and W-3400 processors with up to 56 cores in the Deep MicroATX form factor. The platform — discovered by @momomo_us — can be used to build compact workstations and servers that will pack quite a punch with up to 56 high-performance cores and a formidable eight-channel memory subsystem.
The ASRock Rack W790D8UD-1L1N2T/BCM is fully compatible with Intel's Xeon W-2400 and W-3400-series CPUs with core counts spanning from six and going all the way to 56. The platform supports up to 2 TB of DDR5-4800 modules using its eight slots and, therefore, can take advantage of Intel's Sapphire Rapids-WS's memory subsystem with a peak bandwidth of 307.2 GB/s. The motherboard capitalizes on the comprehensive I/O capabilities offered by Intel's latest Xeon W CPUs, which include 112 PCIe Gen5 lanes for W-3400 and 64 PCIe Gen5 lanes for the W-2400.
