ASUS has launched two workstation motherboards – Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE and the Pro WS W790-ACE – powered by new Intel W790 chipset. Each are built for the latest Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 processors and deliver breakthrough overclocking capability to unlock further performance from CPUs and DDR5 R-DIMM memory modules.
In these Pro WS W790 series workstation motherboards, ASUS has unleashed more expandable graphics, extensive storage, impressive connectivity and reliability. This series is ideal for empowering professional creators, data scientists and architecture engineers as they deal with complex designs, simulations, rendering and AI inferencing workloads.
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE uses a dedicated gigabit Ethernet controller assigned to the onboard AST2600 BMC for the connection of IPMI architecture, allowing for BIOS updates, hardware resets, or critical issue fixes via a web UI. While, users can access similar functionality with the Pro WS W790-ACE with ASUS IPMI expansion card.
Additionally, the Pro WS W790 series comes with ASUS Control Center Express ― a real-time IT monitoring and management software designed to help IT administrators improve efficiency and protect digital assets from unauthorized access and data leaks.
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE is empowered to overclock Intel Xeon W-3400 or W-2400 processors, and it features eight memory module slots supporting up to 2 TB of ECC R-DIMM DDR5 RAM, which may also be overclocked. The seven total PCIe 5.0 x16 slots deliver flexible configurability to support multiple performant GPUs in creation, architecture or data analytics.
For those who need to build a workstation for businesses, AI development, or for running data analytics in finance and science, the Pro WS W790-ACE supports Intel Xeon W-2400 and W-3400 processors with eight RAM slots supporting up to 2 TB of ECC R-DIMM RAM in a quad-channel configuration. With its five PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, multi-GPU arrangements are once again on the menu. Three SlimSAS slots provide advanced storage options, and a 10 Gbps Marvell AQC113CS Ethernet port is ready for network attached storage (NAS).
