4.2 Processor Functions Overview
With the release of the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product family, several
key system components, including the CPU, Integrated Memory Controller (iMC), and
Integrated IO Module (IIO), have been combined into a single processor package and feature
per socket; two Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point links capable of up to 8.0 GT/s, up
to 40 lanes of Gen 3 PCI Express* links capable of 8.0 GT/s, and 4 lanes of DMI2/PCI Express*
Gen 2 interface with a peak transfer rate of 5.0 GT/s. The processor supports up to 46 bits of
physical address space and 48-bit of virtual address space.
The following sections will provide an overview of the key processor features and functions that
help to define the performance and architecture of the server board.
Processor Feature Details:
 Up to twelve execution cores
 Each core supports two threads (Intel
®
Hyper-Threading Technology), up to 20 threads
per socket
 46-bit physical addressing and 48-bit virtual addressing
 1 GB large page support for server applications
 A 32-KB instruction and 32-KB data first-level cache (L1) for each core
 A 256-KB shared instruction/data mid-level (L2) cache for each core

QuickPath Interconnect is a high speed, packetized, point-to-point interconnect used
in the processor. The narrow high-speed links stitch together processors in distributed shared
memory and integrated I/O platform architecture. It offers much higher bandwidth with low
