Intel® Server Board S3420GP TPS Functional Architecture Figure 12. Intel® Server Board S3420GP Functional Block Diagram From S3420GPV 3.1 Processor Sub-System The Intel® Server Board S3420GP supports the following processor:  Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 series  Intel® CoreTM Processor i3-500 Desktop series  Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950 The Intel® Xeon® 3400 Processor Series are made up of multi-core processors based on the 45 nm processor technology. The Intel® CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950are made up of dual core processor based on the 32 nm processor technology. 3.1.1 Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series The Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series highly integrated solution variant is composed of four Nehalem-based processor cores.  FC-LGA 1156 socket package with 2.5 GT/s.  Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors with higher TDP are not supported. The server board does not support previous generations of the Intel® Xeon® processors. 3.1.2 Intel® CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950 The Intel® Duo CoreTM Processor i3-500 Series and Intel® Pentium® Processor G6950 highly integrated solution variant is composed of two processor cores.  FC-LGA 1156 socket package with 2.5 GT/s.  Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors with higher TDP are not supported. Please get the detail supported processor list from Intel website. 3.1.3 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is featured on certain processors in the Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology opportunistically and automatically allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency if the processor is operating below power, temperature, and current limits. This results in increased performance for both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology operation:  Turbo Boost operates under Operating System control - It is only entered when the operating system requests the highest (P0) performance state.  Turbo Boost operation can be enabled or disabled by BIOS. Revision 2.4 17 Intel order number E65697-010
