1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the dual Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx
series processors (Socket P) and the Intel C621/C622 chipsets, the X11DDW-L/NT
motherboard provides system performance, power effi ciency, and feature sets to address
the needs of next-generation computer users. With support of a 6-channel DDR4 memory
controller and up to 28 cores with Hyper-Threading technology, the X11DDW-L/NT provides
maximal performance, system cooling, and PCI-E capacity. This motherboard is optimized
for general purpose server platforms.
The Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series processor and the Intel C621/C622 PCH
support the following features:
•
Intel® AVX-512 support with memory bandwidth increase to 6 channels (x1.5 from the
previous generation)
•
High availability interconnect between multiple nodes
•
Rich set of available IOs, full fl exibility in usage model, and software stack
•
Dedicated subsystems for customer innovation
•
Increased platform security with Intel® Boot Guard for hardware-based boot integrity pro-
tection; prevention of buffer overfl ow class security threads
•
Integrated solution for real-time compression, streaming write & read performance in-
creases from gen-to-gen
•
Hot plug and enclosure management with Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD)
•
Single standard server development (Accelerate NFV transition) consolidating application,
control, and data plane workloads, reducing total platform investment needs
