Description
Intel* Xeon* Processor E5-2400 Series-based Platforms for Intelligent Systems
Ideal for Intelligent Systems*context-aware, securely managed embedded and communications devices that connect seamlessly to networks, clouds and each other.
Based on the latest generation Intel* microarchitecture (codenamed Sandy Bridge), the Intel* Xeon* processor E5-2400 series provides the performance, I/O and memory capabilities for a wide range of computeintensive embedded and communications applications including communication infrastructure servers, blades and appliances; security servers, blades and appliances; carrier-grade rack-mount servers; proprietary form factors, such as router modules; AdvancedTCA*-based blades; and medical servers, blades and appliances.
Platform options include four-, six- and eight-core single-socket solutions, and up to 16-core dual-socket solutions, providing significant performance improvement over previous-generation Intel* Xeon* processors. For example, the 1.8 GHz eight-core Intel* Xeon* processor E5-2448L* at 70W thermal design power (TDP) delivers nearly 44 percent performance gain over the previous-generation 2.4 GHz six-core Intel* Xeon* processor E5645* at 80W TDP.1 Increased memory capacity is provided with three memory channels per processor and up to 1600 MHz DDR3 memory.
32nm process technology supports performance/ watt-optimized designs. Three of the processors in this series feature robust thermal profiles for thermally constrained applications such as the Advanced-TCA form factor and applications complying with NEBS Level 3 thermal specifications. Developers can create a single design, then deliver a family of products due to a broad range of processor features, including eightcore (16 threads), six-core (12 threads) and four-core (8 threads) options, and a TDP range of 50W to 95W. Single- or dual-socket configurations, when paired with the Intel* C604 or Intel* C602-J chipset, maintain compatibility with enterprise platform requirements.
This server-class Intel* processor series includes PCI Express 3.02 integrated on the processor die to boost performance, reduce latency and save power. This saves board real estate over previous-generation threechip platforms by eliminating the need for a separate I/O hub.
Intel* Advanced Vector Extensions accelerates compute performance for signal and image processing applications. The newest release of Intel* AES New Instructions3 provides robust encryption without increasing overhead, while improving performance in AES-based communications cryptographic workloads.
All processors feature Intel* Virtualization Technology4 for flexible virtualization, and an Intel* QuickPath Interconnect (Intel* QPI) link which maximizes interprocessor transfer rates. Intel* Turbo Boost Technology5 and Intel* Hyper-Threading Technology6 deliver top performance for bandwidthintensive applications.
