|
|
|
Intels new server chipsets for the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5000 series enable new, Intel dual-processor (DP) balanced server platforms that are efficient, dependable, and responsive. IntelR dual-core processor-based platforms help businesses better utilize server assets with effective virtualization and increase density in their data centers through optimized power and thermal features. These DP servers offer increased value to enterprise front-end, small to medium business (SMB), and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

The Intel 5000P and the Intel 5000V chipsets support Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology at 533 and 667 MHz for faster application response and greater memory capacity. They accelerate I/O functions to increase I/O bandwidth and reduce system latency for data-intensive applications. Intel developed these chipsets specifically for Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5000 processor series-based DP platforms. These DP servers use new 1066 and 1333 MHz dual independent system buses for more responsive business services.

The Intel 5000P and Intel 5000V chipsets consist of
Intel 5000P Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
Intel 5000V Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
Intel 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub
Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub
The Intel 5000P MCH specifically supports performance and volume server applications. The Intel 5000V MCH enables value-oriented dual-processor platforms.

The Intel 5000P and 5000V memory controller hubs provide dual independent buses at 1066 and 1333 MHz to support two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors 5000 series for superior performance in a DP server platform. The two buses deliver an aggregated throughput of up to 17 GB/second for 1066 MHz and up to 21 GB/sec for 1333 MHz. With an independent bus for each processor, nextgeneration Intel platforms can deliver higher throughput for intensive computing workloads, compared to the previous-generation platforms based on the 64-bit Intel Xeon processor 3.60 GHz and Intel 7520 chipset.

Fully Buffered DIMMs
The Intel 5000P and Intel 5000V chipsets support next-generation FBDIMM technology, which significantly improves memory throughput and increases capacity for a more responsive system. FBDIMMs are ideal for servers and high-end workstations where
performance is crucial to meet business or technical computing objectives. Intel 5000P chipset platforms deliver up to 3X higher memory bandwidth and up to 4X higher capacity over previousgeneration platforms based on the Intel Xeon processor 3.60 GHz and Intel 7520 chipset with DDR2-400 memory. The memory interface for the Intel 5000P MCH supports four channels of four FBDIMMs per channel, for a total capacity of up to 64 GB. The Intel 5000V MCH supports two memory channels of four FBDIMMs per channel for a total capacity up to 16 GB.

|
|
PCI Express (PCIe)
The Intel 5000P and Intel 5000V chipsets use PCIe for highspeed communications of up to 4 GB/sec between third-party devices and the MCH. The Intel 5000P MCH supports three x8 PCIe links, while the Intel 5000V MCH supports one x8 link. Platform designers can bifurcate each x8 link into two x4 links for configuration flexibility.

|
|
|
PCI/PCI-X
The Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub can attach directly to the MCH through a point-to-point PCIe x8 or x4 link for support of PCI and PCI-X interfaces on the platform. Each Intel 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub supports two bus segments that platform designers can independently configure to operate in PCI (33 MHz or 66 MHz) or PCI-X mode (at 66, 100, or 133 MHz), for 32-bit or 64-bit PCI/PCI-X devices. Each PCI/PCI-X interface integrates a PCI standard hot-plug controller. The hub supports multiple PCI-X slots and frequencies for the high bandwidth I/O connectivity required in todays servers.
