Intel^® Xeon^® W
- Engineered For Your Enterprise

GIGABYTE brings Intel's Skylake architecture to the SOHO segment with a new offering: the 'Basin Falls' single-socket platform for workstations. This new build offers a wealth of I/O options, including multiple PCIe lanes to support graphics, and other add-on card options, as well as direct SATA and USB ports.
GIGABYTE's precision engineering enables you to fulfil your workstation workload needs with ease.

Intel® Xeon® W - Key Features

Intel's Skylake-W (Basin Falls) platform brings increases in compute, I/O and memory compared to the previous generation. This functionality, with multiple USB and SATA connections from the chipset, allows for:

• I/O Options
  20% more PCIe lanes gen-on-gen
  Extra 16 PCIe lanes from the PCH
  Supports USB and SATA connectors
• Memory
  11% more bandwidth vs. previous generation
  4 channels - maximum 2666MT/s at 1DPC or 2DPC
• Compute
  1S: up to 18 cores; Intel HS Hyper-threading; per core power management

Dense Add-On Slot Design

GIGABYTE's Intel Xeon W motherboards are designed to provide serious PCIe options, with options for the fully optimized 100% use of the 48 PCIe lanes available.
The addition of an active PCIe switch and three pass-through switches allows for the following permutations:

• 4 x dual-slot GPU card
or
• Up to 4x alternative PCIe x8 or PCIe x16 cards simultaneously

Dense Storage/USB Design

GIGABYTE's engineers have maximized the storage and external connection scope of this board with 10 SATA ports and 8 USB ports.

SATA Ports

• 8x SATA from the chipset
• 2x 'GSATA' via the onboard Marvell 9172 SATA controller (from PCIe)

USB Sockets

• 8x USB 3.0
• 2x USB 3.1 - one Type 'A' and one Type 'C'

U.2 Connectors

• Mini-SAS HD type
• PCIe Gen3 x4 (NVMe) connection offering 32Gb/s for high-speed boot

Onboard M.2

GIGABYTE's MW51-HP0 platforms are designed to support on-board 'M.2' storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks.

Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds through a PCIe connection, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.

Compliant with four different M.2 form factors.

TPM 2.0 Header

GIGABYTE's MW51-HP0 platform is designed to support Trusted Platform Modules (TPM - discrete cryptographic on-board processors).
