Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000/3000 Sequence

for Embedded Computing Platforms

Intel® Xeon® processors for embedded computing platforms

Breakthrough performance, energy efficiency, extended lifecycle support and common socket Intel Xeon processor-based systems make them the ideal choice for compute-intensive embedded, storage and communications applications.

Lower thermal design power (TDP) and higher Tcase temperature Intel Xeon processor options are ideal options for low power consumption and/or compliance with the AdvancedTCA* form factor and NEBS level-3 thermal specifications*.

Platform configurations

These processors are validated with two different chipsets, providing a choice of flexible, dual-processor-capable platforms for a wide range of applications. These include storage area networks (SANs), network attached storage (NAS), routers, IP-PBX, converged/unified communications platforms, sophisticated content firewalls, unified threat management (UTM) systems, medical imaging equipment, military signal and image processing, and telecommunications (wireless and wireline) servers.

• Intel® 5000P chipset-based platforms are ideal for full performance and memory-intense applications by providing a maximum FB-DIMM memory capacity of 64 GB, 28 lanes of PCI Express* and accelerated I/O options.
• Intel® 5100 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) chipset-based platforms are ideal for bladed and dense bladed applications requiring less than 200 watts, including AdvancedTCA and NEBS-compliance.

Intel® Pentium® Processor E2160

For embedded computing

The Intel® Pentium® processor delivers great performance, low power enhancements, and multitasking for embedded computing. The Intel® Pentium® processor E2160Δ with a thermal design power of 65 watts delivers energy-efficient dual-core performance for cost-sensitive embedded designs. Intel® 65nm process technology makes it possible to integrate two complete execution cores in one physical package, providing advancements in simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multi-tasking environments.

This dual-core processor is well suited for a wide range of performance-intensive, low-power embedded applications in smaller form factors such as interactive clients (i.e., point-of-sale terminals and ATMs), gaming platforms, industrial control and automation, and print imaging. While incorporating advanced processor technology, these processors remain software-compatible with previous IA-32 processors.

The Intel Pentium processor E2160 is validated with the Intel® Q35 Express Chipset and Intel® Q965 Express Chipset. The Intel Q35 Express Chipset platform brings a new level of power reduction in idle and maximum power, making it an ideal choice for embedded applications meeting high-performance, low-thermal specifications.

Features and benefits

Dual-core processor	The Intel® Pentium® processor is the newest addition to the Intel® Pentium® processor family. This dual-core processor delivers high-value performance for multitasking.
Intel® 64 architectureΦ	Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. Access to larger physical memory space reduces load on the system and allows faster access to data from RAM instead of the drive.
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache	Intel® Smart Cache enables smarter, more efficient cache and bus design for enhanced performance and responsiveness.
Intel® Intelligent Power Capability	Manages runtime power consumption of execution cores by turning on computing functions only when needed. Reduces overall power consumption, enabling quieter, more power-efficient system designs.

Δ Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. Seewww.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

Φ 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
