for Intel® Xeon® Processors LV and ULV, and Intel® Celeron® Processors 1.66 GHz and 1.83 GHz
The Intel® E7520 chipset — utilizing dual-processor, high-bandwidth chipset technology — enables reduced power consumption with improved platform reliability and system manageability compared to previous-generation Intel® chipsets. The 667 MHz front-side bus supports Intel® Xeon® processors LV and ULV, providing high bandwidth for increased memory and I/O throughput with dual-processor support. Additionally, it supports the Intel® Celeron® processors at 1.66 GHz and 1.83 GHz, offering a value-sensitive solution for small form factor designs. The Intel Xeon processor LV has a thermal design power (TDP) of 31W; the ULV version has a TDP of 15W; and the Intel Celeron processors at 1.66 GHz and 1.83 GHz has a TDP of 27W.
Intel E7520 chipset-based platforms can be designed to support
single- or dual-channel DDR2-400 memory (up to 16 GB)
PCI Express
For demanding I/O and networking applications, PCI Express
interfaces attach a variety of Intel and third-party I/O
solution components and adapters directly to the Intel E7520
MCH
Intel® 6300ESB
I/O Controller Hub
Available as the I/O controller hub for legacy I/O support,
the Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH) attaches directly
to the MCH through the Intel® Hub Interface 1.5 connection
Intel® 6700PXH
64-bit PCI Hub (Optional)
The Intel® 6700PXH 64-bit PCI Hub connects to the MCH through
a point-to-point x8 or x4 PCI Express interface
