10 Gigabit Performance at  
the Lowest Cost Per Port
Adding to a robust family of 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters, Intel is 
now offering the Intel® 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter. 
Following the 802.ak specification, the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual 
Port Server Adapter offers the lowest cost per port of all the 
current 10GbE interconnects. The low-profile PCI Express* form 
factor combined with two CX4 ports and a low-power envelope 
for energy efficiency, makes the board ideal for slot-constrained 
environments. 10GBASE-CX4 adapters are well-suited for 
customers with shorter distance and low latency requirements.
Next-Generation 10 Gigabit Performance
10 Gigabit Ethernet has moved past the early adoption stage and 
is rapidly becoming mainstay for backbones within enterprise and 
service provider networks. The escalating deployments of servers 
with multi-core processors and demanding applications such as 
High Performance Computing (HPC), database clusters, and video 
on demand are driving the need for 10 Gigabit connections.
Designed to meet the need of high-speed, low-latency intercon-
nects of HPC clusters, the Intel® 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server 
Adapter provides bandwidth-intensive applications with highly 
affordable 10GbE network performance for distances up to  
15 meters with standard twinaxial or up to 100 meters with 
Intel® Connects cable. Based on the Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit 
Ethernet controller, Intel’s next-generation 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual 
Port Server Adapter is designed to meet the throughput require-
ments of bandwidth-hungry applications. Intel’s new 10GBASE-
CX4 adapter can also be used in wiring closets and server racks, 
as well as data centers to aggregate servers. 
Performance-Enhancing Features  
Designed for Multi-Core Environments
When implemented within multi-core processor environments, 
the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter offers ad-
vanced networking features for efficient distribution of Ethernet 
workloads across CPU cores. Load balancing of interrupts using 
MSI-X enables more efficient response times and improved 
application performance. CPU utilization can be lowered further 
through stateless offloads such as TCP segmentation offload, 
header replications/splitting, and Direct Cache Access (DCA).
Multiple Queues Optimized  
for Virtual Environments
The Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter is optimized 
for virtualized environments, supporting multiple queues, allevi-
ating I/O bottlenecks between virtual machines. Virtual Machine 
Device queue
1
 (VMDq) technology offloads data sorting and data 
copying from the virtual machine monitor (VMM) software layer 
to the hardware, improving overall throughput and CPU utilization 
on virtualized servers. Additionally, the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual 
Port Server Adapter enables Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology
2
 
(Intel® I/OAT) with support for Intel® QuickData for faster I/O 
processing on the new Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 
processor-based servers.
