Intel Quad-Core Xeon MP E7300/X7300 series processor (Tigerton)

Identification

---

Model name: Quad-Core Xeon MP E7300/X7300 series.
Code name: Tigerton.
Supplier: Intel.
Component class: CPU.

Generation

---

Generation: Core 2.

Compatibility

---

64 bit technology: EM64T.

Multimedia instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3.

Cache

---

L1 cache: (4x) 32 kbyte instruction cache, 32 kbyte data cache (Harvard architecture).
Two-by-two shared L2 cache: (2x) 2/3/4 Mbyte.

Architecture

---

266 MHz QDR Dedicated High Speed Interconnect (DHSI): connecting the CPU socket directly to the chipset on the motherboard (Multi Independent Bus, MIB); main memory talks to the chipset, not directly to the processor chips.

Memory protection: XD bit.

Protected program execution environment: LaGrande Technology (LT).

Virtualization Technology (VT, Vanderpool), with:

• VT FlexMigration: enabling future processor generations to impersonate a previous generation, allowing virtual machines (vms) to live migrate to another processor generation without disturbing the architectural image that applications are having.

Multi-processing

---

Quad-core technology: two Dual-Core dies in SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) configuration (Dual-Chip Module, DCM).

Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP): supported through chipset.
