Intel order number G13326-003
The server board does not support previous generations of the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors. The
list of supported processors may be found at http://serverconfigurator.intel.com.
Note: The workstation processor is not supported in this platform.
3.1.2 Intel
®
Core™ Processor i3-2100 Series
The Intel
®
Core™ Processor i3-2100 Series highly integrated solution variant is composed of
Duo cores.
FC-LGA 1155 socket package with 2.5 GT/s.
Up to 65 W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors with higher TDP are
not supported.
The server board does not support previous generations of the Intel
®
Core™ Processor
i3 Series.

3.1.3 Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology
Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology is featured on certain processors in the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor
E3-1200 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 in BIOS Setup.
Turbo Boost converts any available power and thermal headroom into a higher
frequency on active cores. At nominal marked processor frequency, many applications
consume less than the rated processor power draw.
Turbo Boost availability is independent of the number of active cores.
Maximum Turbo Boost frequency depends on the number of active cores and varies by
processor configuration.
The amount of time the system spends in Turbo Boost operation depends on workload,
operating environment, and platform design.
If the processor supports the Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology feature, the BIOS Setup provides
an option to enable or disable this feature. The default state is enabled.
3.2 Memory Subsystem
The Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E3-1200 series or Intel
®
Core™ Processor i3-2100 has an
Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) in its package. Each processor produces up to two DDR3
channels of memory. Each DDR3 channel in the IMC supports up to two UDIMM slots. The
DDR3 UDIMM frequency can be 1066/1333 MHz. Only ECC memory is supported on
this platform.
