List of Intel Itanium processors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Itanium from Intel is a high-end server and supercomputer microprocessor.

Itanium (2001)[edit]

Merced (180 nm)[edit]

Steppings: C0, C1 and C2. CPUID: 0007000604h (stepping C0), 0007000704h (stepping C1) or 0007000804h (stepping C2). Transistor count: 25.4 million for CPU, 295 million for the external L3 cache. The FSB data bus is 64 bits wide, not 128 like in Itanium 2.

Itanium 2 (2002-2007)[edit]

Itanium 2 uses socket PAC611 with a 128 bit wide FSB. The 90 nm CPUs (9000 and 9100 series) bring dual-core chips and an updated microarchitecture adding multithreading and splitting the L2 cache into a 256 KB data cache and 1 MB instruction cache per core (the pre-9000 series L2 cache being a 256 KB common cache). All Itaniums except some 130 nm models are capable of >2-socket SMP.

HP mx2 MCM (130 nm)[edit]

This multi-chip module codenamed Hondo is not an Intel product, but a separate project of Hewlett-Packard to pack two CPUs onto one PAC611 socket. The S-Spec SL75Z was assigned to the chips that Intel sent to HP for use in mx2.

Montvale (90 nm)[edit]

The chip is similar to Montecito, but the stepping is A1 and the CPUID is 0020010104h. The models with 533 MT/s FSB also support 400 MT/s FSB operation.[14] The processors with the Core level Lock-Step error correction feature were released only in 2008.[15] Even though Intel does not use the "Itanium 2" branding for the 9100-series, it's still grouped with Itanium 2 processors because it uses the same platform and is a minor update on the 9000-series.

Itanium (2007–2019)[edit]

These later generations of Itanium use socket LGA 1248, the QuickPath Interconnect and Scalable Memory Interconnect having replaced the Front-Side Bus used by Itanium 2.

Tukwila (65 nm)[edit]

Stepping: E0. Die size: 699 mm². Transistor count: 2046 million. CPUID: 0020020404.
All models support: XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, VT-i2 (Itanium Virtualization technology), Intel VT-d, RAS with Advanced Machine Check Architecture, Cache Safe technology, Enhanced Demand Based Switching, ECC, two memory controllers each with two SMI links to memory buffers for DDR3, for a combined memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s and capacity of 256 GB. The QPI bandwidth is 96 GB/s for cache coherency and 24 GB/s for I/O.

Kittson (32 nm)[edit]

The 9700 series, despite nominally having a different stepping (E0 with CPUID 0021000504), is functionally identical with the 9500 series, even having exactly the same bugs, the only difference being the 133 MHz higher frequency of 9760 and 9750 over 9560 and 9550 respectively.[17] Intel had committed to at least one more generation after Poulson, first mentioning Kittson on 14 June 2007.[18] Kittson was supposed to be on a 22 nm process and use the same LGA2011 socket and platform as Xeons.[19][20][21] On 31 January 2013 Intel issued an update to their plans for Kittson: it would have the same LGA1248 socket and 32 nm process as Poulson, effectively halting any further development of Itanium processors.[22]
