Features and benefits
| Supports two dual-core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000Δ series | Optimized performance for the DP Server market segment with a range of price points. |
|---|---|
| 1066 / 13331 MHz dual independent buses | Increased bus bandwidth of up to 3X over 800 MHz systems. |
| FB DIMM 533/667 MHz memory interface | Offers a maximum memory bandwidth up to 17 GB/s for 533 MHz and 21 GB/s for 667 MHz. Increased dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) per system provide enhanced memory scalability for memory-intensive applications. |
| PCI Express X-16 graphics | PCIe graphics interface, delivers as much as 4.0 GB/s of graphics bandwidth per direction directly into the Intel® 5000X MCH chipset (total bandwidth 8 GB/s). Enhanced visualization with the PCI Express x16 graphics interface, delivering twice the bandwidth of AGP 8X. |
| PCI Express I/O*2 | Serial I/O technology provides a direct connection between the MCH chipset and PCI Express* component/adapters with bandwidth up to 4 GB/s on each PCI Express x8 interface. PCI Express offers higher bandwidth, lower latency and fewer I/O bottlenecks than PCI-X. |

Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub
The Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub is targeted for the server market. It is a peripheral component that performs PCI bridging functions between the PCI Express* interface and the PCI Bus. It contains two PCI bus interfaces that can be independently configured to operate in PCI (33 or 66 MHz) or PCI-X Mode 1 (66, 100, or 133 MHz), for either 32 or 64 bit PCI devices. It further supports the new PCI Standard Hot-Plug Controller and Subsystem Specification Revision 1.0. File Type/Size: PDF 2271KB | Optional component introduces next-generation PCI/PCI-X performance and significant enhancements to platform flexibility. Supports two independent 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X segments and two Hot-Plug controllers (one per segment). |
|
Advanced platform reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)
File Type/Size: PDF 148KB | Features such as memory Error Correction Code (ECC), Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction (x4 SDDC), DIMM sparing and DIMM scrubbing for improved system reliability. The System Management Bus (SMBus) port hooks into the Intel® 5000V MCH chipset for remote management operation and support for a variety of third-party base management controller (BMC) and BIOS solutions. |
| Intel® Hub Interface 1.5 connection to the MCH chipset | Point-to-point connection between the MCH chipset and the Intel® 82801ER I/O Controller Hub or Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub devices provides as much as 266 MB/s of bandwidth. |
