Intel XEON D-1540

The new Intel XEON D-1540 CPU is the heart of the new Dedicated Power Server, which can provide 8 x 2.6 GHz and also hyper-threading. Moreover it offers a minimum of 32 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, which can also be ratcheted up to 64 GB RAM.

You've come to the right place if you want to find out what kind of performance the new Intel XEON D-1540 CPU can offer.

The Intel XEON D-1540 was conceived for high-performance servers, and as far as speed goes, it comes close to the large XEON E5 chips.

Generally, both of the current Xeon Ds can be soldered on the circuit board and support up to 64 GB DDR3 RAM as SO-DIMM or up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM as RDIMM. Two modules each are connected to the two 64-bit memory channels, and service technologies such as ECC are made feasible at the same time.

Currently two models of the XEON D series can be found on the market: the Xeon D-1540 and the Xeon D-1520. For its dedicated server – the Power Server – webtropia.com exclusively uses the XEON D-1540, with eight cores and up to 2.6 GHZ, at a TDP of only 45 watts. At the same time the D-1540 processer has Intel® Turbo-Boost Technology, which means that the frequency of this processor can be dynamically raised according to need. This way you can attain more processor speed, just when you need it. In Turbo-Boost mode the Intel XEON D-1540 achieves a maximum clock rate of 2.6 GHz.

Naturally the Intel XEON D-1540 also has the proven Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows the processing of two threads per physical core. Applications that have many threads can handle more tasks in parallel, and end tasks earlier on.
