HP's Sx1000 Chipset: Innovation Atop Standardization
Overview Hewlett-Packard's new super scalable processor chipset, sx1000, is designed to meet emerging feature sets and required scalability in the server marketplace and to differentiate HP servers that use the Itanium processor from other servers using Itanium. The chipset, which consists of five types of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), supports dual-processor modules (i.e., two processors installed in a single socket) and provides higher CPU, memory, and I/O bandwidth and greater memory capacity. The chipset supports both the Itanium 2 processor (starting with the Madison version) and the PA-RISC 8800 processor, thus providing a hardware migration path from PA-RISC to Itanium processors.
