Integration Guide for New Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

Processor-Based Servers (or Workstations) Rev 1.0

2 Platform Overview

The new platform consists of the Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

processor 5000 sequence, Intel

5000P or

Intel

5000V or Intel

5000X Memory Control Hub, and the Intel

6311ESB or 6312ESB I/O Controller

Hub. The new Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based server enhances platform performance,

bandwidth, flexibility, and I/O integration. Intel’s innovation around the new platform is a leap ahead of

our prior generation servers and offers the best business server platform for IT available in the

marketplace.

New Dual Independent Point-to-Point Bus

¾ To balance the higher throughput requirements from dual core CPUs, Intel comes up with the new

front side bus architecture – DIB (Dual Independent bus). This new point to point bus enables faster

FSB speeds (1066 MHZ and 1333 MHZ), much higher throughput (17-21GB/s transfer rate) and

better performance.

Virtualization Technology

¾ Intel

Virtualization Technology is part of a collection of premier Intel designed and manufactured

silicon technologies that deliver new and improved computing benefits for home, business users,

and IT managers. Virtualization enhanced by Intel

Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to

run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one
