1.4.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
This motherboard supports the latest Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E3-1200 v3/
Core
TM
i3 series in LGA1150 package, which has memory and PCI Express controller
integrated to support 2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes. The
Intel
®
Xeon
®
E3-1200 v3 has improved CPU performance and integrated voltage regulators
making it one of the most powerful and energy efcient CPU in the world.
Intel
®
Turbo Boost
Intel
®
Turbo Boost automatically allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency
if the processor is operating below its power, current, and temperature specication
limits. This technology increases performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded
workloads.
Intel
®
Hyper Threading
The thread-level parallelism on each processor makes more efcient use of the processor
resources, higher processing throughout and improved performance on today's multi-
threaded software.
Intel
®
EM64T
The motherboard supports Intel
®
processors with the Intel
®
EM64T (Extended Memory 64
Technology). The Intel
®
EM64T feature allows your computer to run on 64-bit operating
systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efcient
computing.
DDR3 memory support
The motherboard supports ECC UDIMM DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates
of 1600/1333 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server and workstation
applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture boosts system performance, eliminates
bottlenecks with a peak bandwidth up to 25Gb/s, and dramatically reduces the memory
voltage to just 1.5V compared to DDR2's memory voltage of 1.8V.
