eliminates unnecessary core snoops to the L1 and L2 caches. Intel uses the 32-nm process to produce the Xeon 5600 series. Both 5500 and 5600 series processors contain an integrated memory controller. The controller uses three channels to access up to nine DDR3 memory sockets. The memory channels can operate up to 1333 MT/s (32 GB/s total), depending on the number and type of DIMMs in the slots.

Intel Xeon processors for MP ProLiant servers We use Xeon 6500 series processors in select MP ProLiant G7 servers. These processors have four, six, or eight cores. Each processor contains a four-channel integrated memory controller. It has 64 KB L1 and 256 KB L2 caches for each core and a shared L3 cache of up to 18 MB. The processors use scalable memory buffers that support up to 16 memory slots per socket, or up to 1 TB using 16 GB DDR3 DIMMs in 4P systems. The processors include an advanced reliability feature-Intel Machine Check Architecture Recovery-that lets the OS continue to run even after it detects uncorrectable errors. Xeon 6500 series processors include 105-W and 130-W versions. See the processor specifications at http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/products/server/processor/xeon6000/specifications. We use Xeon 7500 series processors in MP ProLiant DL 500-series servers. The Xeon 7500 series processor has four, six, or eight cores and a shared, inclusive L3 cache of 24 MB. A four-channel integrated memory controller supports up to 16 DIMM slots through four scalable memory buffers (Figure 2). Four-socket ProLiant DL 500-series servers with Xeon 7500 series processors have 64 DIMM slots and support up to 1 TB of memory. The processors use QPI links to connect to the I/O 4
