The ThinkAgile ThinkAgile MX650 V4 supports the 6th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processor family. 

The MX650 V4 supports one or two of the following Intel processors:

• Intel Xeon 6500-series with P-cores (formerly "Granite Rapids" or GNR)
• Intel Xeon 6700-series with P-cores (formerly "Granite Rapids" or GNR)

Topics in this section:

• 6th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
• Lenovo Processor Neptune Core Module - Open-loop liquid cooling

6th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

The ThinkAgile MX650 V4 systems support the following processors.

For details about these options, including configuration rules, see the SR650 V4 product guide:
https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp2127-thinksystem-sr650-v4-server#processors

* These processors are single-socket capable processors and are only available in configure-to-order builds or in pre-configured models. Not available as option part numbers.  Processors must be configured with at least 256GB memory capacity and valid memory qty can only be 12, 16, 24 and 32.

With the Processor Neptune Core Module, all heat generated by the processors is removed from the server using water. This means that the server fans and data center air conditioning units only need to remove the heat generated by the other components. This results in lower air conditioning costs and it enables the use of slower fans which results in lower overall power consumption.

Internal testing has shows a 63% fan power saving per node and 24.7% rack-level power saving with the use of open-loop liquid cooling. Power savings are configuration dependent.

The following figure shows the Lenovo Processor Neptune Core Module.

Figure 5. Lenovo Processor Neptune Core Module

The Processor Neptune Core Module also includes a leak detection module which can detect a leakage of more than 0.5ml (about 10 drops) along the length of the tube and then issue an event to the XClarity Controller. XCC will then post an error to the System Event Log and enable further actions. Once the liquid evaporates, a further event is issue to XCC.

The Processor Neptune Core Module is only available in CTO orders, not as a field upgrade. Ordering information is listed in the following table.
