workstation motherboard deliver top performance in industry-standard SPEC benchmarks
measuring compute performance

KEY POINTS

Singapore, January 22, 2018 — ASUS today announced that the RS700-E9 series
rack server and WS C621E SAGE workstation motherboard have been awarded 18 top
results by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) for
benchmarks measuring computing-intensive performance, including the SPECrate®
2017_Integer, SPECrate 2017_fp, and SPECint_rate 2006 metrics. The benchmarks
cover diverse applications such as AI, discrete event simulation, explosion
modeling, and video compression.

World record-setting performance

The
top performance of the record-setting products underscores the ASUS commitment
to pursuing continuous system optimization and performance tuning to deliver
the highest quality servers and workstations to consumers.

The ASUS
RS700-E9 series rack server achieved the top result in the Xeon®
Gold 8176 2-socket systems category for SPECrate 2017_Integer_base, SPECrate 2017_Integer_peak,
SPECrate 2017 fp_base, SPECrate 2017_fp_peak, SPECint_rate 2006_base, SPECint_rate
2006_peak, and SPECint_2006_base.

RS700-E9 also
achieved the top result in the Xeon Gold 6150 2-socket systems category for
SPECrate 2017_Integer_base, SPECrate 2017_Integer_peak, SPECrate 2017 fp_base, SPECrate
2017_fp_peak, SPECint_rate 2006_base, SPECint_rate 2006_peak,
SPECint_2006_base, and SPECint_2006_peak.

The ASUS WS
C621E SAGE workstation motherboard achieved the top result in the Xeon Gold
6154 2-socket systems category for SPECrate 2017_Integer_base, SPECrate
2017_Integer_peak, and SPECint_rate 2006_base.

ASUS RS700-E9 series rack servers and WS C621E
SAGE workstation motherboard

ASUS
RS700-E9 series rack servers are engineered to deliver incredible performance
and efficiency for the data center in a compact 1U form factor. ASUS RS700-E9 is
built on the powerful Intel® Xeon® Scalable Platform,
formerly Purley, and features 24 DIMM slots to provide best-in-class memory
capacity and bandwidth.

The WS C621E
SAGE workstation motherboard delivers the highest performance for diverse
application requirements and workloads. It features support for dual Intel Xeon
Scalable family processors, highly expandable super-fast storage options, 12
DDR4 memory slots and pure PCIe Gen3 x16 link 4-way graphics.

ASUS servers
and workstations both come with the embedded ASMB9-iKVM module and ASUS Control
Center management software to provide convenient, secure and cost-saving
centralized in-band and out-of-band management.

About SPEC CPU2017 and SPEC CPU2006

The SPEC
CPU2017 and SPEC CPU2006 benchmarks are industry-standardized, CPU-intensive
benchmark suites for measuring and comparing compute-intensive performance, as
well as stressing a system’s processor, memory subsystem and compiler. The
benchmark suites show a server’s capability in running real user applications
across the widest practical range of hardware using workloads.
