Intel® 5100 Memory Controller Hub Chipset for Embedded Computing Supporting Intel® Core™2 Duo processors SL9400 and T9400

The power-optimized Intel® 5100 Memory Controller Hub Chipset (Intel® 5100 MCH Chipset) supports development with the energy-efficient 45nm Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9400, providing a compelling performance-per-watt advantage for single-processor bladed form factor applications. Chipset power savings are derived from lower thermal design power (TDP) in the MCH, a low-power Intel® 82801IR I/O Controller Hub 9R (ICH9R), and standard native DDR2 memory technology.

The Intel® Core™2 Duo processor SL9400 has a 1.86 GHz core speed, 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 17 watts TDP in a 956-ball FC-BGA package. The Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400 has a 2.53 GHz core speed, 1066 MHz Front-Side Bus (FSB), 35 watt TDP, and offers two package options—479 μFC-BGA and 478 μFC-PGA. This Intel 5100 MCH chipset-based platform provides 30 lanes of PCI Express* (PCIe*) for I/O connectivity and supports dual-channel DDR2 registered ECC memory to help safeguard data and improve reliability.

This platform addresses the high-performance, low-power needs of single-processor bladed form factors in security, voice, wireless infrastructure and embedded market segments. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as routers, IP-PBX, converged/unified communications platforms, content firewalls and unified threat management (UTM) systems.
