Understanding Supermicro X10, X11 and Newer Platforms
Supermicro commonly identifies motherboard and server platform generations with designations such as X10, X11, X12, X13, and X14. The X-number identifies the Supermicro platform generation and should not be confused with the generation number of the installed Intel or AMD processor.
For example, a Supermicro X11 server may use a first- or second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor, depending on the motherboard and system model. Always review the exact processor, motherboard, memory, storage, firmware, and expansion specifications before selecting a server.
