Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2 Processor and Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series
processors (Socket P0) and the C621/C622 chipset (Note below), this motherboard provides
superb system performance, effi cient power management, and a rich feature set based on
cutting edge technology to address the needs of next-generation computer users. With support
of Intel® UltraPath Interconnect (UPI) of up to 10.4 GT/s, and Intel® AVX-512 new instructions,
this motherboard offers an innovative solution with maximum system performance to meet
the ongoing demands of High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms. This motherboard
is optimized for general purpose server use.
The Intel Xeon 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx series processor and the C621/C622 chipset
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
• Hot plug and enclosure management with Intel Volume Management Device (Intel VMD)
(See Note 2 below.)
• Integrated solution for real-time compression, streaming write & read performance in-
creases from gen-to-gen
• Single standard server development (Accelerate NFV transition) consolidating application,
control, and data plane workloads, reducing total platform investment needs
Note 1: The X11DPi-N supports Intel C621 PCH, and the X11DPi-NT, Intel C622.
Note 2: Intel VMD is supported by PCI-E Slot 6 and NVMe Port1/Port2.
