XENON S-5100

Xeon® Processor 5100

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series are 64-bit server/workstation processors utilizing two Intel microarchitecture cores.

These processors are based on Intel’s 65 nanometer process technology combining high performance with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series maintain the tradition of compatibility with IA-32 software.

Some key features include on-die, 32 KB Level 1 instruction and data caches and 4 MB Level 2 cache with Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture.

The processors’ Data Prefetch Logic speculatively fetches data to the L2 cache before an L1 cache requests occurs, resulting in reduced bus cycle penalties and improved performance.

The 1333 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) is a quad-pumped bus running off a 333 MHz system clock making 10.66 GBytes per second data transfer rates possible.

Some lower speed SKU’s are available which support a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

This is a quad-pumped bus running off a 266 MHz system clock making 8.5 GBytes per second data transfer rates possible.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5160 offers higher clock frequencies than the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series for platforms that are targeted for the performance optimized segment.
