4800/2800 Product Families 
Architecture
2.1
Introduction
The Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families support up to ten-cores 
with up to 30-MB shared last-level cache (LLC) and two on-chip memory controllers. It 
is designed primarily for glueless four- or eight-socket multiprocessor systems, and 
features four Intel QuickPath Interconnects and four Intel
 
SMI channels.
The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 processor 7500 series-based platform supports four fully-connected 
Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families sockets, where each Intel 
Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families use three Intel QuickPath 
Interconnects to connect to the other sockets and a fourth Intel QuickPath Interconnect 
can be connected to an IO Hub (IOH) or an eXternal Node Controller (XNC) to expand 
beyond a four-socket configuration. The Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 
Product Families maintain cache coherence at the platform level by supporting the Intel 
QuickPath Interconnect source broadcast snoopy protocol.
The Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families are designed to support 
Intel QuickPath Interconnects at speeds of 4.8, 5.86 and 6.4 GT/s and DDR3-800, 978 
and 1067 MHz memory speeds. It uses a power-through-the-pins power delivery 
system and LS socket.
