5^th Gen Intel^® Xeon^® processors unleashes up to 21% average general-purpose performance gain, significantly improving AI inference and training, all via the drop-in-compatible LGA-4677 socket. This innovation powerhouse accelerate AI, HPC, Analytics, Networking, Storage and offer eight DDR5-5600 memory channels for up to 2 TB capacity, 80 PCI Express^® 5.0 lanes with CXL 1.1 support, and a 350 W TDP for 1P and 2P configurations — ready for the future of computing.

The new 5^th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors excel at providing full features and functionality for both dual-socket and single-socket platforms. The ASUS Z13PE-D16 goes one step further by introducing an CPU-balanced architecture to enable secure and optimal CPU performance and efficiency.

This architecture extends the full bandwidth to either dual- or single-CPU configurations, enabling more computing capability and much-improved overall power efficiency for compute-intensive workloads.

When operating with a single CPU, it can support up to three PCIe cards, signifying that this motherboard is a cost-effective solution for small to medium-sized enterprises or budget-conscious users. Without the need for excessive PCIe slots, hardware costs can be controlled more effectively. Furthermore, the Z13PE-D16 motherboard is particularly suitable for specific workloads that require only limited PCIe expandability. Whether you need to optimize your configuration or simply require a few additional PCIe cards, the Z13PE-D16 offers simplified setup and management, ensuring efficient operation. Whether you are operating a small to medium-sized enterprise, managing a budget-sensitive data center or seeking solutions tailored to specific applications, the ASUS Z13PE-D16 server motherboard can meet your needs, delivering exceptional performance and cost efficiency.

The Z13PE-D16 provides dual 10-gigabit ultra-high-speed ports, vastly outperforming traditional gigabit Ethernet. This speed enhances data-traffic handling, thereby improving application performance. Additionally, it ensures reliability through teaming support, where multiple network interface cards (NICs) combine for enhanced redundancy, minimizing service interruptions.
