Intel Sandy Bridge-based Xeon microprocessors (often referred to as Sandy Bridge-E[1]) are microprocessors based on the Intel's 32 nm Sandy Bridge architecture for servers, workstations, and high-end desktops. It succeeds the six-core Gulftown/Westmere-EP processor which used the older LGA 1366 package, and uses LGA 2011, LGA 1356 and LGA 1155 socket depending on the package.

Overview

[edit]

There are five different families of Xeon processors that were based on Sandy Bridge architecture:

  • Sandy Bridge-E (LGA 2011) targeted high-end desktop (HEDT) enthusiast segment. It was branded as Core i7 Extreme Edition and Core i7 processors, despite sharing many similarities with Xeon models.
  • Sandy Bridge-EP (LGA 2011) branded as Xeon E5 models aimed at high-end servers and workstations. It supported motherboards equipped with up to 4 sockets.
  • Sandy Bridge-EN (LGA 1356) uses a smaller socket for low-end and dual-processor servers on certain Xeon E5 and Pentium branded models.
  • Sandy Bridge Xeon (LGA 1155) were mostly identical to its desktop counterparts apart from the missing IGPU despite branded as Xeon E3 processors.
  • Gladden (BGA 1284) Xeon E3 models were for embedded applications.

IGPU is absent on most of these processors unless noted otherwise.

Sandy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-EP

All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), TXT, Intel VT-x, Intel EPT, Intel VT-d, Intel VT-c,[2] Intel x8 SDDC,[3] Hyper-threading (except E5-1603, E5-1607, E5-2603, E5-2609 and E5-4617), Turbo Boost (except E5-1603, E5-1607, E5-2603, E5-2609, E5-4603 and E5-4607), AES-NI, Smart Cache.
