	Intel® 5000P Chipset for Embedded
	Supporting Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence

The Intel® 5000P chipset, utilizing next-generation dual-processor chipset technology, enables low-power consumption with improved platform reliability, accessibility, serviceability (RAS) and system manageability. Compared to previous-generation Intel® chipsets, the Intel 5000P chipset delivers higher throughput with dual, point-to-point system buses, faster memory and I/O/ bandwidth, and Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) support.

Product Highlights

PCI Express

PCI Express has become the mainstream I/O technology for balanced platforms, providing the necessary bandwidth and lower latency to support the enhanced capabilities of the Intel Xeon processor.

Memory

Intel 5000P chipset-based platforms support next-generation FB-DIMM DDR2 (533, 667 MHz) technology. These platforms are ideal for storage and memory-intensive applications, providing 3x improvement in memory bandwidth and up to 4x increase in memory capacity. The quad channel memory subsystem interface supports up to four FB-DIMMs per channel for a total system bandwidth of up to 21 GB/s. Up to 64 GB is supported by the MCH.

Advanced Platform RAS Features

RAID technology supports the most demanding storage data transfers and storage security.

Memory mirroring splits the memory subsystem and duplicates the data in each half.

DIMM sparing swaps "defective" DIMMs with installed but otherwise unused DIMMs for high availability.

x4 or x8 Single Device Data Correction (SDDC)

Demand and patrol scrubbing proactively searches the system memory, repairing correctable errors or permanently marking the memory location as unreadable.

Error Correcting Code (ECC) detects single-bit and double-bit errors, and automatically corrects single-bit errors on internal data paths.

Hot-plug PCIe supports the addition of I/O devices after installation without service interruption.

¹ Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) requires an operating system that supports Intel I/OAT.

Δ Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel EM64T-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. See www.intel.com/technology/intel64/ for more information including details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.
