Processor—Interfaces

2.1.1System Memory Technology Supported

The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports DDR3/DDR3L protocols with two independent, 64-bit wide channels each accessing one or two DIMMs. The type of memory supported by the processor is dependent on the PCH SKU in the target platform.

Note: The IMC supports a maximum of two DDR3/DDR3L DIMMs per channel; thus, allowing up to four device ranks per channel.

Note: The support of DDR3/DDR3L frequencies and number of DIMMs per channel is SKU dependent.

DDR3/DDR3L Data Transfer Rates:

•1333 MT/s (PC3-10600)

•1600 MT/s (PC3-12800)

•Standard 1Gb, 2Gb, and 4Gb technologies and addressing are supported for x8 devices. There is no support for memory modules with different technologies or capacities on opposite sides of the same memory module. If one side of a memory module is populated, the other side is either identical or empty.

Worksation platforms UDIMM Modules:

•Raw Card A – Single Ranked x8 unbuffered non-ECC

•Raw Card B – Dual Ranked x8 unbuffered non-ECC

•Raw Card D – Single Ranked x8 unbuffered ECC

•Raw Card E – Dual Ranked x8 unbuffered ECC

Server platforms UDIMM Modules:

•Raw Card D – Single Ranked x8 unbuffered ECC

•Raw Card E – Dual Ranked x8 unbuffered ECC
