Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600v3/v4 processors
(Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DDW-i/iN motherboard provides the
best balanced solution of performance, power efficiency, and features to address
the diverse needs of next-generation data centers.
With support of new Intel Microarchitecture 22nm (E5-2600v3)/14nm (E5-2600v4)
Processing Technology and Intel® Silicon View Technology, the X10DDW-i/iN
dramatically increases system performance.
The PCH C612 chip provides enterprise SMbus and MCTP support, including the
following features:
•
DDR4 288-pin memory support on Socket R3
•
Hybrid clock support capable of extending to most 2S platforms
•
Support for Management Engine (ME)
•
Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity
•
Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity configurations
•
SPI Enhancements
•
Intel® Node Manager 3.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping and man-
agement for BMC enhancement (See the note below.)
•
BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package
for enterprise platforms
Notes:
1. E5-2600v4 requires Revision 2.0 BIOS (or higher).
2. Intel Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply
used in the system.
