Server chipsets 

Two chipset versions for the Quad-Core Intel Xeon

processor 5300 series enable server configuration

flexibility for unique business needs and market 

segments where maximum performance and 

performance/watt are key requirements. 

•

Intel® 5000P chipset. Designed for performance

and volume server platforms, this chipset supports

1066 and 1333 MHz system bus speeds, three 

PCI Express x8 links (each configurable as two x4

links), FBDIMM 533 and 667 technology, point-to-

point connection for Intel® 6321 ESB I/O Controller

Hub at 2 GB/s, and Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI hub. 

•

Intel® 5000V chipset. For value platforms, this

chipset supports 1066 and 1333 MHz system bus

speeds, one PCI Express x8 link (configurable as

two x4 links), FBDIMM 533 and 667 technology,

point-to-point connection for Intel 6321 ESB 

I/O Controller Hub at 2 GB/s, and Intel 6700PXH

64-bit PCI hub. 

Workstation chipset 

Two-processor workstations based on the Quad-

Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series are ideal for

highly threaded applications that scale with the ad-

ditional processing cores as well as user workflows

with multiple applications being used simultane-

ously. Quad-core technology-based workstations are

ideal for demanding applications in computer aided

engineering (CAE), electronic design automation

(EDA), digital media, financial analysis, oil and gas 

exploration, and software engineering. 

•

Intel® 5000X chipset. For performance and 

volume workstation platforms, this chipset 

supports 1066 and 1333 MHz system bus speeds,

one PCI Express x8 link (configurable as two x4

links) and one configurable x16 link for graphics

support, FBDIMM 533 and 667 technology, 

point-to-point connection for Intel 6321 ESB 

I/O Controller Hub at 2 GB/s, and Intel 6700PXH 

64-bit PCI hub.

Flexibility and Stability with Intel® 5000 
Series Chipsets

The following chipsets for the Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5000

sequence-based two-processor platforms enable highly balanced systems, with up to 

21 GB/s throughput from processor to memory and I/O, matching the improved processor

performance and advanced FBDIMM memory technology. These chipsets incorporate dual

independent, dedicated FSBs, FBDIMM support for up to 64 GB of memory capacity with

advanced reliability and data availability features, and up to 16 lanes (x16) of PCI Express*.

These platform configurations provide flexibility and headroom for future growth in multiple deployments:

• High-end workstations 

• Front-end servers 

• Small and medium business data centers 

• Enterprise infrastructures 

• High-performance computing (HPC)

Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series enables companies, designers, manufacturers, and resellers to deploy

right-sized solutions for today’s environments. Genuine Intel® architecture and new Intel 5000 series chipsets give

you reliability you can count on, while a single platform design supporting dual-core and quad-core processors help

ensure investment protection and stability in your IT environment over the long term.
