List of Intel Xeon chipsets

Last updated

Around the time that the Pentium 4 processor was introduced, Intel's Xeon line diverged from its line of desktop processors, which at the time was using the Pentium branding.

Contents

The divergence was implemented by using different sockets; since then, the sockets for Xeon chips have tended to remain constant across several generations of implementation.

The chipsets contain a 'memory controller hub' and an 'I/O controller hub', which tend to be called 'north bridge' and 'south bridge' respectively. The memory controller hub connects to the processors, memory, high-speed I/O such as PCI Express, and to the I/O controller hub by a proprietary link. The I/O controller hub, on the other hand, connects to lower-speed I/O, such as SATA, PCI, USB, and Ethernet.

P6-based Xeon chipsets

Dual processor P6-based Xeon chipsets

Intel's initial preferred chipset for Pentium III Xeon was the 840.

Product nameCodenameProcessor FSB supportedMemory type supportedHigh-speed interfaces providedPreferred IOCH
440GX AGPsetMarlinespike100One 72-bit-wide channel of SDRAM, with ECC; up to four DIMMsPIIX4E
840Carmel100 or 133Two channels RDRAM, two RIMMs per channel

Four processor P6-based Xeon chipsets

The Pentium III Xeon bus protocol allowed four processors on the same bus, so the 440GX AGPset could be used in four-CPU systems; the limit of 2 GB of main memory remained. These support Slot 2.

There was also the 450NX PCIset, which consisted of several chips: a single 82451NX Memory and IO Bridge Controller roughly analogous to the North Bridge, up to two 82454NX PCI Expander Bridges which converted the protocol used by 451NX to two 32-bit PCI33 or one 64-bit PCI33 bus, along with up to two memory cards each equipped with one 82452NX RAS/CAS Generator chip and two 82453NX Data Path Multiplexer chips. It supported PIIX3 and PIIX4E south bridges, and EDO DRAM.

Eight processor P6-based Xeon chipset

In August 1999 Intel began shipping the Profusion PCIset. [1] The chipset was based on technology developed by the Corollary company, which Intel acquired. [2] It supported up to 8 Pentium III Xeon processors on two busses and maintained cache coherency between them. [3] [4] [5] Profusion supported up to 32 GB of memory. It saw some limited competition from the NEC Aqua II chipset. [6] Another minor player in the eight-way space was Axil Computer's NX801, [2] which was used in an 8-way (two buses) Pentium Pro design, commercialized by Data General as their AV-8600 computer. [7]

NetBurst-based Xeon chipsets

Dual processor NetBurst-based Xeon chipsets

E7500 corresponded to the first Northwood-based Pentium4 Xeons, E7501 is essentially identical but supports faster FSB and memory. The E7320, E7520 and E7525 chipsets correspond to Prescott-based Pentium4 Xeons, and differ mainly in their PCI Express support. These support Socket 604. The Intel 875P chipset was used in some two-socket motherboards for Xeons. [8] [9] [10] [11]

Quad processor NetBurst-based Xeon chipsets

As Intel didn't have a 4P-capable chipset for NetBurst-based Xeons until 2005, for three years ServerWorks GC-HE served as the de facto standard MP chipset, even being used in Intel's own motherboards (SPSH4 and SRSH4). [19]

3000 and 3010 are an update on the E7230 chipset, codenamed Mukilteo, which has specifications very similar to the 3000 chipset. [22] E7230 was preceded by E7221, which was Intel's first strictly single-socket server chipset.

Dual processor Core-based Xeon chipsets

These chipsets use a 'dual independent bus' design, in which each socket has its own connection to the chipset. These use the LGA 771 socket. The datasheets omit the 667 MT/s FSB support, so 5400 may support it too.

Dual processor Nehalem-based Xeon chipsets

The Nehalem-based Xeons for dual-socket systems, initially launched as the Xeon 55xx series, feature a very different system structure: the memory controllers are on the CPU, and the CPUs can communicate with one another as peers without going via the chipset. This means that the 5500 and 5520 (initial codename Tylersburg-EP) chipsets are essentially QPI to PCI Express interfaces; the 5520 is more intended for graphical workstations and the 5500 for servers that do not need vast amounts of PCI Express connectivity

Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded markets. It was introduced in June 1998. Xeon processors are based on the same architecture as regular desktop-grade CPUs, but have advanced features such as support for error correction code (ECC) memory, higher core counts, more PCI Express lanes, support for larger amounts of RAM, larger cache memory and extra provision for enterprise-grade reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features responsible for handling hardware exceptions through the Machine Check Architecture (MCA). They are often capable of safely continuing execution where a normal processor cannot due to these extra RAS features, depending on the type and severity of the machine-check exception (MCE). Some also support multi-socket systems with two, four, or eight sockets through use of the Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) bus, which replaced the older QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) bus.
