14 DAY TRIAL // Tyan has just announced that during the Intel Solution Summit, which takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, between February 27 and March 2, it will introduce a new series of single socket LGA 1155 motherboards which are especially designed for Intel's upcoming Xeon E3 processor line.
All of the boards are based on the Cougar Point chipset, come in the micro-ATX form factor and target the embedded, SMB and workstation environments.
The S5510 features four DDR3 DIMM sockets, four PCI Express 2.0 slots and three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports.
Its older brother, the S5512, exchanges one of the four PCI-E slots available in the S5510 with a PCI Express x16 slot, adds a forth Gigabit LAN port and carries no less than eight SAS 6Gbps ports, making it ideal for the storage, medical, telecom and networking environments.
The last motherboard of the series is the S5515 which is destined to be used in entry-level embedded appliances and packs one PCI Express x16 slot.
Tyan's new boards are based on Intel's C200 series chipsets that we detailed in a previous article.
“In order to meet the expectations of higher performance, maximum energy efficiency and lower IT operation cost, Tyan developed a brand new single-socket product line based on new Intel technology,” said Tyan Director of Product Marketing, Kevin Hart.
“The Tyan S5510, S5512 and the upcoming S5515 are specially designed with the Intel Cougar Point chipset and support the next Generation Intel Xeon Processors.
“These solutions will provide greater power efficiency with a lower refresh cost,” concluded the company's rep.
The Xeon E3 range is Intel's first server processor series to be based on the recently released Sandy Bridge architecture.
The Tyan S5510 and S5512 products would be available in late Q2 2011.
