1-2 Processor Overview
The Intel ® Xeon ® D is the next generation, low-powered 64-bit SoC (System-on-a-
Chip) processor in a BGA package. Built upon the functionality of the low-power
14nm architecture, the Xeon
® D processor provides superior performance and
excellent power efficiency. The processor can run on between 15 and 45 watts
and is aimed at dense, hyperscale cloud, storage environments, and microservers.
The Xeon ® D processor is optimized to deliver power-efficient performance for stor -
age and networking products by providing features such as 10GbE and enahnced
total cost of ownership. This new SoC processor utilizes 8 processor cores and has
12MB of L3 cache. It supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory, 64-bit applica-
tions, and 10 GbE. The Xeon
® D processor also supports Intel ® Hyper-Threading,
Turbo Boost Technology, Virutalization Technology (VTx and VTd), and QuickData
Technology.
