Broadwell DE (BDX-DE) is codename Intel's single-chip dense low-power processors platform based on the Broadwell microarchitecture. Broadwell DE are aimed at lower power IoT, networking, and dense edge computing.

Broadwell DE parts are branded as Intel Xeon D-1500 series processors.

Overview[edit]

All processors are a single-socket BGA-1667 package, manufacturing on Intel's 14 nm process based on the Broadwell microarchitecture. Broadwell DE are a single-chip solution consisting of just the processor chip itself since they incorporate the chipset along with the microprocessor die in the same package.

Common Features[edit]

All models have all the following features in common:

TDP: 20-65 W
Mem: 128 GiB dual-channel DDR4 ECC memory up to 2133/2400 MT/s. (128 GiB @ RDIMM 32 GiB/DIMM, 64 GiB @ UDIMM/SODIMM 16 GiB/DIMM
I/O: 32 PCIe 3/2 lanes (x24 Gen3 + x8 Gen2)
ISA: Everything up to AVX2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, AVX, FMA3, and AVX2)
Features: SpeedStep, VT-x, TSX, TXT, Secure Key, and OS Guard

Broadwell DE SKUs are organized into three groups:

Edge Server and Cloud SKUs
Integrated QuickAssist Technology - SKUs with Intel's QuickAssist technology enabled. QAT allows for up to 100 Gps of encryption and decryption acceleration.

Additionally, SKUs are suffixed with N or combination of multiple of those options:

N - Integrated Ethernet and Intel's QuickAssist technology
