Features:

The ThinkSystem ST550 is a high-performance dual-socket tower server based on the second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, supporting a wide range of processors to suit a wide range of budgets and application requirements.

Scalability and performance

The ST550 offers the following features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• Improves productivity by offering superior system performance with up to two processors, each with up to 22 cores, and core speeds up to 3.8 GHz.
• Hyper-Threading Technology to maximize the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications, available with most processors.
• Intelligent and adaptive system performance with energy-efficient Intel Turbo Boost Technology, available with most processors, allows CPU cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor thermal design power (TDP).
• Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.
• Intel Speed Select Technology provides improvements in server utilization and guaranteed per-core performance service levels with more granular control over processor performance.
• Intel Deep Learning Boost (Vector Neural Network Instruction set or VNNI) is designed to deliver significant, more efficient Deep Learning (Inference) acceleration for high-performance Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.
• Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) enable acceleration of enterprise-class workloads, including databases and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
• Each processor has six memory channels with memory speeds of up to 2933 MHz to help maximize system performance
• Up to 768 GB of memory capacity using 12x 64GB DIMMs
• The 12 Gbps SAS internal storage connectivity doubles the data transfer rate compared to 6 Gb SAS solutions to maximize performance of storage I/O-intensive applications.

Specifications:

Form factor: Tower or 4U Rack.

Processor: One or two second-gen Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family of processors, either Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum-level processors (formerly codename "Cascade Lake"). 1st Gen Intel Xeon processors are also supported. Supports processors up to 22 cores, core speeds up to 3.8 GHz, and TDP ratings up to 125W. Two Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) links at 10.4 GT/s each.

Chipset: Intel C621 "Lewisburg" chipset

Memory: Up to 12 DIMM sockets (6 DIMMs per processor) supporting Lenovo TruDDR4 DIMMs at up to 2933 MHz. RDIMMs and LRDIMMs (Load Reduced DIMMs) are supported, but memory types cannot be intermixed.
