Intel Ivy Bridge–based Xeon microprocessors

<p>Intel Ivy Bridge–based Xeon microprocessors (also known as Ivy Bridge-E) is the follow-up to <a href="/facts/Sandy_Bridge-E/tgRzjeud">Sandy Bridge-E</a>, using the same CPU core as the <a href="/facts/Ivy_Bridge_(microarchitecture)/VklHpEK1">Ivy Bridge</a> processor, but in <a href="/facts/LGA_2011/wMWkCtCv">LGA 2011</a>, <a href="/facts/LGA_1356/ezvvkpCs">LGA 1356</a> and <a href="/facts/LGA_2011-1/wMWkCtCv">LGA 2011-1</a> packages for workstations and servers.
</p><p>There are five different families of Xeon processors that were based on Sandy Bridge architecture:
</p>
<ul><li>Ivy Bridge-E uses <a href="/facts/LGA_2011/wMWkCtCv">LGA 2011</a> socket and was branded as Core i7 Extreme Edition and Core i7 high-end desktop (HEDT) processors, despite sharing many similarities with Xeon E5 models.</li>
<li>Ivy Bridge-EP which also uses <a href="/facts/LGA_2011/wMWkCtCv">LGA 2011</a> socket for the Xeon E5 models aimed at high-end servers and workstations. It supports up to 4 socket motherboards.</li>
<li>Ivy Bridge-EX introduces new <a href="/facts/LGA_2011/wMWkCtCv">LGA 2011-1</a> socket and features up to 15 cores. It supports up to eight socket motherboards.</li>
<li>Ivy Bridge-EN uses a smaller <a href="/facts/LGA_1356/ezvvkpCs">LGA 1356</a> socket for low-end and dual-processor servers on certain Xeon E5 and Pentium branded models.</li>
<li>Ivy Bridge Xeon with <a href="/facts/LGA_1155/uMWcfNas">LGA 1155</a> socket were mostly identical to its desktop counterparts apart from the missing <a href="/facts/IGPU/PTK1RQVp">IGPU</a> despite branded as Xeon processors.</li>
<li>Gladden was offered in BGA 1284 package for embedded applications.</li></ul>
