The X6DH8-XG2 supports single or dual Intel Nocona processors at 800 MHz front side bus. Based upon Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture, the Nocona processor supports the IA-32 software and includes features found in the Xeon processor such as Hyper Pipelined Technology, which includes a multi-stage pipeline, allowing the processor to operate at much higher core frequencies. Packaged in a 604-pin Flip Chip Micro Pin Grid Array (FC-mPGA4) platform in a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (mPGA 604), the Nocona Processor (800 MHz) which supports Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel EM64T, is ideal for high performance workstation and server environments with up to two processors on one system bus.
Supports up to two Intel 64-bit Xeon processor(s) of the same type below:
- Xeon (Nocona) CPU with 1MB L2 Integrated Advanced Transfer Cache, up to 3.60 GHz.
- Xeon (Irwindale) CPU with 2MB L2 Integrated Advanced Transfer Cache, up to 3.60 GHz.
