D-1500 series SoC (System-on-a-Chip) processor in a BGA package. The X10SDV
Mini-ITX motherboard addresses a low-power, high-density infrastructure need with
either 4/6/8/12/16 Xeon cores, up to 128 GB of addressable memory, two integrated
10 Gigabit Intel Ethernet ports*, two 1 Gigabit Intel Ethernet ports*, M.2 SSD, Intel
Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise (RSTe), USB 3.0 and a thermal design from

consistency from the data center to the storage and network edge with the same
instruction set as the robust Xeon processor.
