Description
 
Intel® dual-core processor-based platforms help businesses better utilize assets with effective virtualization and increase density in their data centers through optimized power and thermal features.
The new dual-core processor servers offer increased value to enterprise front-end, small to medium business (SMB), and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
 
 
Features and benefits
 
Intel® 5000V MCH chipset features
Supports two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000° 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 8.5 GB/s for 533 MHz and 10.5 GB/s for 667 MHz.

Increased dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) per system provide enhanced memory scalability for memory-intensive applications.
PCI Express*² I/O 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 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) Features such as memory Error Correction Code (ECC), Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction (x4 SDDC),³ DIMM sparing and DIMM scrubbing for improved system reliability.

The System Management Bus (SMBus) 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.
