ASUS Z9PE-D16 1-5
Intel ® Hyper Threading
The thread-level parallelism on each processor makes more efficient use of the
processor resources, higher processing throughout and improved performance on
today's multi-threaded software.
Intel ® EM64T
The motherboard supports Intel ® processors with the Intel ® EM64T (Extended
Memory 64 Technology). The Intel ® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on
64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster
and more efficient computing.
DDR3 memory support
The Z9PE-D16 supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of
1600/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server
and workstation applications. The 4-channel DDR3 architecture boosts system
performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidth of up to 52GB/s. This
voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3
which makes it an ideal memory solution. Also, the motherboard can support LR-
DIMM (Load reduced DIMM) which uses a specially designed buffer to reduce the
data load to a single load and can increase overall server system memory capacity.
PCIe 3.0
The motherboard supports the latest PCIe 3.0 device, which doubles the delivered
bandwidth of PCIe 2.0. This enhances system performance while still providing
backward compatibility to PCIe 2.0.
Intel ® I350 Gigabit LAN Solution
The motherboard comes with an integrated quad port Gigabit LAN controller
which provides a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel® I350
Gigabit LAN controller can save platform power with EEE and DMA coordination
features and enhances management features with OS2BMC and MCTP support.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the
CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency
depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the Serial
ATA interface and Intel ® C600 chipset. The Serial ATA II specification provides
twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new
features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM)
Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible
cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements.
