HP ProLiant servers, visit www.hp.com/servers/technology. Microarchitecture Microarchitecture refers to the internal processor design, such as the number of cores that implements an instruction (32 nm) Xeon processors described in this paper support some or all of the following technologies: Three- - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 3
socket systems. The processors also include Intel Machine Check Architecture Recovery. 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. Some 2P ProLiant G7 servers support - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 4
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 - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 5

12 cores in select 2P and 4P ProLiant servers. AMD produces the 8- and 12-core supports up to three DDR3 DIMMs per channel at 1333 MT/s. Each core has an L1 Cache (64 KB for data and 64 KB for instructions going into the halt state. This allows the system to retrieve the contents of the idle cores. - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 7
two DDR3 memory channels that operate up to 1866 GT/s. The memory controllers support LR DIMMs, RDIMMs, UDIMMs, and low-voltage DIMMs. We use 8-core AMD Opteron 4200 series processors in select 2P ProLiant servers. The processor has a single dual-channel memory controller that operates up to 1600 - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 8
to allow addressing to 36 bits. This gives a maximum of 64 GB of physical addressable memory. AMD Opteron and Xeon processors support 32-bit addressing and the 36-bit PAE. As shown in Table 3, the 32-bit instruction set for both the Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron family processors includes: Standard x86 - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 9
numeric support. It also adds new instructions to support 128-bit SIMD integer operations. SSE3 instructions include 13 instructions that 32-bit processors to run 64bit operating systems and applications. The key advantage of 64-bit processing is that a system can address a flat memory space of - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 10
They improve performance, simplify design, and facilitate scalable multiprocessing systems. AMD HyperTransport 3.0 technology The HT3 interconnect consists rate of 6.4 GB/s. The HT3 links improve performance in 4P systems because the processors can communicate directly rather than moving data from - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 11
theoretical bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The QPI's reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features include self-healing links and clock failover. Each 20- inactive QPI links. ProLiant G6, G7, and Gen8 servers enable this feature by default. You can change it through the HP ROM-Based Setup - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 12
the power state of system processors. They are an open specification of the ACPI group. The microarchitectures of the Xeon 5500, 5600, and E5-2600 series processors support processor C-states C0, C1, C3, and C6. C0 represents a fully active core executing instructions. The other C-states reduce - HP ProLiant s6500 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 13
