Processor solution for the implementation of high-performance workstations and low-end servers is E3-1220 revision v5.The technical specifications of this chip are relevant to the current moment, and it is produced according to the most advanced technical process and has a low value of power consumption. This high-performance microprocessor solution and its capabilities will be discussed further.
Processor products for Intel’s servers today are distributed as follows:
Ultrabudgetary servers and workstations withhigh speed based on a single multi-core microprocessor device. This chip belongs to this group. E3-1220 performed by v5.
Server products of the middle class are based on configurations that include from 2 to 4 CPUs.
Well, by default, devices that include more than 4 chips belong to premium solutions.
The main delivery option in which you can meet Intel Xeon E3-1220 - this is woh. It includes the following:
Reserve delivery option - TRAIL. The cost in this case was lower for the reason that the manufacturer did not include the cooling system from the fan and thermal paste.
Main socket for E3-1220 v5 modifications are LGA1151.Again, this chip can only fully function in motherboards with a C2XX chipset, which are designed to build workstations or servers. In the usual solutions of this class of 1XX and 2XX series, such CPUs will not function at all.
The code name of this microprocessorarchitecture - skylake. The layout of this microprocessor solution is made so that it includes 4 physical data processing clusters. At the same time, there is no support for NT technology in this chip. Therefore, the number of cores is equal to the number of threads, that is, 4.
But TurboBust technology in conjunction with such a CPU successfully operates. As a result, the microprocessor frequency changes dynamically. Its minimum value is 3.0 GHz, and the highest is 3.5 GHz.
The key "chip" in the production Intel E3-1220 v5 revision is technologyproduction of silicon crystal. In this case, it is advanced and meets the standards of 14 nm. It is through the use of such an advanced process that this chip boasts a nominal value of the 80 W heat pack.
Also the dimensions of the crystal are 37.5 mm X 37.5 mm. The highest temperature of this processor unit is set by the manufacturer at around 67about C. In reality, this parameter does not exceed 60.about FROM.
The voltage that is applied to the chip shouldbe between 0.55 V and 1.52 V. The latter value is usually determined by the level of complexity of the problem being solved and the current temperature of the semiconductor basis of the CPU.
Built-in fast memory subsystem of 3 levels boasts Xeon E3-1220. The largest volume in this case has the last third level, in which you can place 8 GB of data and instructions.
This part of the cache is common to all components of the processor and its address space is common. That is, all memory cells can store both data and instructions.
The second level allows you to place 1 MB of data andinstructions. It is already divided into 4 parts of 256 KB each. Each of these parts is directly tied to a specific kernel and can only store its instructions and data.
The capacity of the first level is 256 KB.They are divided into 4 segments of 64 KB each. Each of them, like the second-level cache, is assigned to a specific computing unit. In this case, the memory is divided into 2 equal parts of 32 KB each. One of them stores only the data, and the second - the instructions of the CPU.
Random Access Memory Controllerincluded by the manufacturer in the CPU. It is a two-channel and aims to work in conjunction with the modules DDR4. The frequency of the chips in this case should correspond to 1866 MHz or 2133 MHz. You can also use faster solutions, but they will still work at the maximum possible frequency of 2133 MHz. The maximum amount of RAM installed by developers at around 64 GB. The capacity of the RAM subsystem corresponds to 34.1 Gb / s.
Like any other Intel processor solution, E3-1220 v5 has a high cost. In the BOX version, it is estimated by the manufacturer at $ 203, and the more affordable TRAIL is $ 193.
It is very, very overpriced andis the main disadvantage of the decision. Moreover, this model is currently relevant and can still be found on sale in the new state.
But the advantages of this server chip are:
Today a really great processor device is E3-1220. It is perfect for implementing a low-end server.
Another possible use is workingstations with a high level of performance. In all other cases, the use of this chip is unjustified either for economic reasons, or for an insufficient level of performance.
