chipset and the Intel
high-level description of the functionality associated with each chipset component and
architectural blocks that make up this server board.

3.1 Processor Subsystem

® ®
The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series and 5600 series is the first generation
server/workstation multi-core processor to implement the following key technologies:

Integrated Memory Controller

Point-to-point link interface based on Intel
known as Common System Interface.
The processor is optimized for performance with the power efficiencies of a low-power micro
architecture to produce smaller, quieter systems.
Revision 1.8
