Processor and Chipset Overview

Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel E5-2600(V3) Series proces-
sors (Socket R3) and the Intel C612 PCH, the X10DRT-H Series 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 Process Technology and Intel®
Silicon View Technology, the X10DRT-H Series motherboard dramatically reduces
overhead associated with encryption, accelerates system boot security, and enhanc-
es virtual media integration as well as remote system management and monitoring.
The PCH C612 chip in conjunction with the E5-2600 processors support the fol-
lowing features:
•
Enterprise SMbus and MCTP support
•
