1.3 Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and capability of the Intel X58 Express chipset, the
X8SAX motherboard provides the performance and feature sets required for single
processor high-end systems, including optimal configuration options for intensive
application and high-end server platforms. The RES-21XR3 for X8SAX supports a
single 64-bit Intel 5500-Series/5600-Series Xeon processor in an LGA1366 socket
with a QPI up to 6.4 GT/s.
The main architecture of the X8SAX consists of an LGA 1366 processor socket, the
Intel X58 Express North Bridge chipset, the ICH10R South Bridge, and the PXH/V
IO Bridge. With Intel QuickPath Interconnect technology built in, the X8SAX is one
of the first motherboards on the market that offer the next generation point-to-point
system interconnect interface, replacing the current Front Side Bus Technology, pro-
viding substantial system performance enhancement by utilizing serial link intercon-
nections to increase bandwidth and scalability.
1.3.1 Features of the LGA 1366 Processor and the X58
• Intel QuickPath Interconnect link, up to 6.4 GT/s of data transfer rate in each direc-
tion
• Virtualization Technology, Integrated Management Engine supported
• Point-to-point cache coherent interconnect, Fast/narrow unidirectional links, and
• Concurrent bi-directional traffic
• Error detection via CRC and Error correction via Link level retry
1.4 PC Health Monitoring
