xSeries 345 Description

High-Performance Server Subsystems

These xSeries 345 servers expand the xSeries server line by adding a higher level of processor power.

The xSeries 345 server is a high-throughput, two-way, SMP-capable network server with excellent performance and scalability when you add memory and a second processor. It incorporates powerful Xeon processors with 512 KB L2 cache. The advanced transfer L2 cache is integrated onto the processor core and runs at the same clock speed as the processor core. The advanced transfer cache is a result of a "backside bus" that is 256 bits wide. It features a quad-wide cache line that can transfer four 64-bit cache line segments at one time to deliver full-speed capability. The cache is eight-way, set associative.

Two Intel Xeon** processor connectors are standard on the system board to support installation of a second processor. High-speed 100 MHz SDRAM is optimized for 100 MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The xSeries 345 server uses the ServerWorks CMIC-LE chipset with Chipkill technology to maximize throughput from processors to memory, and to the 64-bit and 32-bit PCI buses.
