28 Order Number: 323103-001
Note:
1. All processors are Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors except for processor number P1053. Processor number
P1053 is the Intel
®
Celeron
®
processor. The P1053 does not support memory RAS features, i.e.,
scrubbing (demand and patrol), mirroring, lockset, and SDDC. The sections of the Datasheet describing
these features DO NOT apply to he P1053.
1.4 Interfaces
1.4.1 Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect (Intel
®
QPI)
The Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect (Intel
®
QPI) interconnets two processors for SKUs
that support DP configurations. Intel
®
QPI is a cache-coherent links-based
interconnect, which is an Intel proprietary specification for links-based processor and
chipset components.
Intel
®
QPI on the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor C5500/C3500 series supports the following
features:
• 64-byte cache lines
• SKU dependent Link transfer rates: 4.8 and 5.87 GT/s
• L0, L0S, and L1 power states
• 40-bit Physical Addressing
•Intel
®
QPI Route-Through to allow DP systems to seamlessly access each other’s
resources.
1.4.2 System Memory Support
