MSI Announces New Server Platforms Supporting Intel Xeon 6 Family of Processors 

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Feb. 24, 2025 -- MSI has introduced new server platforms powered by the latest Intel Xeon 6 family of processors with the Performance Cores (P-Cores). Engineered for high-density performance, seamless scalability, and energy-efficient operations, these servers deliver exceptional throughput, dynamic workload flexibility, and optimized power efficiency. Optimized for AI-driven applications, modern data centers, and cloud-native workloads, MSI’s new platforms help lower total cost of ownership (TCO) while maximizing infrastructure efficiency and resource optimization.

“As data-driven transformation accelerates across industries, businesses require solutions that not only deliver performance but also enable sustainable growth and operational agility,” said Danny Hsu, General Manager of MSI’s Enterprise Platform Solutions. “Our Intel Xeon 6 processor-based servers are designed to support this shift by offering high-core scalability, energy-efficient performance, and dynamic workload optimization. These capabilities empower organizations to maximize compute density, streamline their digital ecosystems, and respond to evolving market demands with greater speed and efficiency.”

Enterprise Servers for Compute-Intensive Workloads

The CX170-S5062, CX270-S5062, and CX271-S3066 enterprise servers are built on the OCP Datacenter Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) architecture, delivering reliable performance, seamless scalability, and optimized energy efficiency. Powered by Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series processors with P-cores and a TDP of up to 350W, these servers provide robust computing power to support demanding data center workloads.

• CX170-S5062: A 1U dual-socket server designed for space-constrained, high-density environments. It supports 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, providing exceptional memory scalability for cloud workloads and data analytics. The server offers up to 12 U.2 NVMe bays, with additional E1.S and M.2 NVMe slots for flexible storage configurations. Its compact form factor is ideal for maximizing rack space without compromising on performance, making it suitable for edge data centers and hyperscale deployments.
• CX270-S5062: A 2U dual-socket server optimized for maximum storage and PCIe expansion. Like the CX170-S5062, it supports 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, but its larger chassis accommodates up to 24 U.2 NVMe bays, delivering superior storage density for large-scale data processing. It features 2 double-wide PCIe 5.0 x16 slots supporting 400W accelerators, making it ideal for AI, HPC, and data-intensive workloads that require accelerated computing. Its extensive PCIe expansion capability supports advanced networking cards, storage controllers, and additional accelerators, offering flexibility for diverse enterprise applications.
• CX271-S3066: A 2U single-socket server optimized for Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series with P-cores, supporting up to 136 PCIe lanes for exceptional I/O scalability. It features 16 DDR5 DIMM slots, making it a cost-effective choice for workloads optimized for high PCIe bandwidth and efficient memory performance. The server supports flexible PCIe expansion with double-wide FHFL PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for up to 400W accelerators, alongside options for up to 24 U.2 NVMe bays, making it well-suited for AI inference, virtualization, and cloud-native applications.

Core Compute Servers for Exceptional Compute Density and Thermal Efficiency

The CD270-S3061-X4 and CD270-S3061-X2 core compute DC-MHS multi-node servers are engineered for high-performance, energy-efficient data center operations. Built on a unified 2U chassis design and leveraging Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series with P-cores, these servers deliver exceptional compute density and thermal efficiency. To support optimal thermal management, they are equipped with either 1U or 2U Extended Volume Air Cooler (EVAC) CPU Heatsinks, enhancing cooling performance for sustained, high-density workloads.

• CD270-S3061-X4: A 2U 4-node density-optimized server designed for maximum compute density with four nodes per chassis. Each node is powered by Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series with P-cores, supporting 16 DDR5 DIMM slots and 3 U.2 NVMe SSD bays. Its compact, high-density design leverages 1U EVAC CPU heatsinks for efficient thermal management, making it ideal for large-scale cloud and compute environments where node density is the priority, without additional PCIe expansion.
• CD270-S3061-X2: A 2U 2-node airflow-optimized server that balances compute performance with expandability. Powered by Intel Xeon 6500/6700 series, each node supports 16 DDR5 DIMM slots and offers flexible storage with 6 U.2 NVMe bays, plus optional support for 8 E1.S drives to enhance storage density. Unlike the CD270-S3061-X4, it includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for I/O expansion, with thermal performance optimized by its 2U EVAC CPU heatsinks, making it suitable for data center workloads that require both compute power and flexible PCIe connectivity.
