Datasheet, Volume 1
System memory features include: 
• Data burst length of eight for all memory organization modes
• 64-bit  wide  channels
• DDR3 I/O Voltage of 1.5 V
• Maximum memory bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s in single-channel mode or 21 GB/s in 
dual-channel mode assuming DDR3 1333 MT/s
• 1-Gb and 2-Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies are supported.
• Using 2-Gb device technologies, the largest memory capacity possible is 16 GB for 
UDIMMs (assuming Dual Channel Mode with a four dual rank unbuffered, non-ECC 
DIMM memory configuration), and 32 GB for RDIMMs (assuming 
Dual Channel 
Mode with a four quad-rank registered DIMM memory configuration
)
• Up to 64 simultaneous open pages, 32 per channel (assuming 8 ranks of 8 bank 
devices)
• Command launch modes of 1n/2n
• Intel

 FMA)
— Just-in-Time Command Scheduling
— Command  Overlap
— Out-of-Order Scheduling
1.2.2
PCI Express*
• The processor PCI Express* port(s) are fully-compliant with the PCI Express Base 
Specification, Revision 2.0.
• Intel

 Xeon
®
 processor 3400 series with the Intel
®
 3450 Chipset supports: 
— One 16-lane PCI Express port intended for graphics attach.
— Two 8-lane PCI Express ports for graphics or I/O.
• Intel

 Xeon
®
 processor 3400 series with the Intel 3420 Chipset supports:
— One 16-lane PCI Express port intended for graphics or I/O.
— Two 8-lane PCI Express ports intended for I/O.
— Four 4-lane PCI Express ports intended for I/O.
• Intel

 Xeon
®
 processor 3400 series with the Intel 3400 Chipset supports: 
— Two 8-lane PCI Express ports intended for I/O.
— Four 4-lane PCI Express ports intended for I/O.
• PCI Express port 0 is mapped to PCI Device 3.
• PCI Express port 1 is mapped to PCI Device 5.
• The port may negotiate down to narrower widths.
— Support for x16/x8/x4/x1 widths for a single PCI Express mode.
• 2.5 GT/s and 5.0 GT/s PCI Express frequencies are supported.
• Either port can be configured independently as 2.5 GT/s or 5.0 GT/s.
• Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 5.0 GB/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of 
500 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this interface. 
This also does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance.
• Maximum theoretical bandwidth on interface of 8 GB/s in each direction 
simultaneously, for an aggregate of 16 GB/s for x16.
• Hierarchical PCI-compliant configuration mechanism for downstream devices.
• Traditional PCI style traffic (asynchronous snooped, PCI ordering).
