Platform Solutions

The following chipsets are optimized for the Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5100 

series. Compared to previous-generation chipsets, they deliver higher throughput 

with dual independent buses, faster memory and I/O bandwidth, and FBDIMM support. 

In addition, support for Intel® Active Server Manager

7

and Intel I/OAT help improve overall

system performance and manageability.

DP server-supported chipsets

Two chipset versions enable server configuration flexibility for unique business needs

and market segments.

• 

Intel® 5000P chipset: For performance and volume server platforms, this chipset 

supports dual independent buses for dual-processor applications, 1066 and 1333

5

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 dual independent

buses for dual-processor applications, 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.

DP workstation-supported chipset

DP workstations based on the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series are ideal for

today’s demanding applications in computer aided engineering (CAE), electronic design 

automation (EDA), digital media, financial analysis, oil and gas exploration, and software

engineering. With its large 4M cache size, Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-

based workstations provide superior performance for multi-threaded applications. 

• 

Intel® 5000X chipset: For performance and volume workstation platforms, this

chipset supports dual independent buses for dual-processor applications, 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.

These platform configurations provide flexibility and headroom for future growth in high-

end workstations and front-end, small/medium business, enterprise, and high-performance

computing (HPC) server deployments, allowing right-sized solutions for today’s environments

while helping to protect investment in design, integration, and support.
