Introducing the Xworks X2Ri-Twin²
Xworks X2Ri-Twin² 2U dual render rack is a highly scaleable ultra performance platform incorporating the latest Intel® Xeon® 5500 series (quad core) processors with 8MB cache. It provides massive performance for professional graphics applications, improved platform reliability and system manageability.
The system supports four independent dual Intel® Xeon blades in a single 2U platform! Each 'blade' supports two quad-core Intel® 'Nehalem' Xeon processors. That's support for up to EIGHT Intel® Xeon® 5500 quad core processors! It incorporates DDR-3 ECC registered memory, Intel® embedded RAID, has TWELVE hot plug SATA2 or SAS hard drives, 1200W PSU and each blade supports dual Intel® Gigabit LAN (Intel® PRO/1000). That's EIGHT Gigabit LAN ports! There's the option for Mellanox Infiniband if required plus the option of a second, redundant 1200W psu..
NB. When fully populated with 8 processors the X2Ri-Twin² provides you with 64 cores* per system!
* ( = 32 Physical cores / 32 = Hyperthreading cores)

Quad-Core Intel® "Nehalem" Xeon® processor(s)
• The new Intel® "Nehalem" architecture delivers significant performance improvements over previous technology. The memory controller is now integrated into the processor itself (rather than the chipset). It now also supports TRIPLE channel DDR3 (12x DIMMs) ECC memory rather than the previous dual channel ECC DDR2 architecture.
Another performance boost comes from introduction of Intel® Quick Path Interconnect (QPI). This provides system bus speeds up to 6.4G transfers/s and a max bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s! It replaces the previous Front Side Bus technology and gives significantly higher bandwidths. performance and upgradeabilty.
Each of the FOUR Blades supports up to twelve "triple channel" fully buffered 1066/1333MHz DIMMs
• 48 DIMM slots (note that 8GB DIMMs are not yet validated for this system. Max memory is currently 192GB)
Integrated server management
• Helps lower costs by improving baseline manageability.
Integrated 12 bay hot-swap SATA2 (3Gb/s) & SAS drive bays
• Supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10.
Each Blade supports dual Gb Ethernet - 8 in total!
• Increases network performance, with lower processor overhead with Intel® Advanced I/O Technology.
Quick Path Interconnect
• QPI replaces the old 'Front Side Bus' - each CPU now has its own memory controller for increased system/memory bandwidth and performance.
PCI Express* I/O
• Serial I/O technology provides a direct connection between the MCH chipset and PCI Express* component/adapters with bandwidth up to 4 GB/second on each PCI Express x8 interface.
• PCI Express offers higher bandwidth, lower latency and fewer I/O bottlenecks than PCI-X
