Does Ice Lake CPU support Apache Pass Optane?

[allen-zhuo]

The mode name of CPU is "Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6348 CPU @ 2.60GHz". And the optane is "NMA1XXD128GPS".

No. Intel Optane 100 Series (Apache Pass) is supported on Cascade Lake Xeon CPUs only. For your Ice Lake CPU, you need to use Intel Optane 200 Series (Barlow Pass).

Hello allen-zhuo,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. 

In regards to your question, based on the part number NMA1XXD128GPS we noticed that this is an Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory 100 series which is not compatible with 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors like Intel® Xeon® Gold 6348 Processor, the 100 series module is compatible with 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Gold and Platinum processor SKUs.

Here you can check the compatible processor models for the 100 series:
