Sandy Bridge-based Xeon microprocessors (often referred to as Sandy Bridge-E[1]) are microprocessors based on the Intel's 32nm Sandy Bridge architecture designed for workstation and servers.
It uses LGA 2011, LGA 1356 and LGA 1155 socket depending on the package, and is successor to the six-core Gulftown/Westmere-EP processor which used the older LGA 1366 package.
There are five different families of Xeon processors that were based on Sandy Bridge architecture:
- Sandy Bridge-E uses LGA 2011 socket and was targeted at high-end desktop (HEDT) enthusiast segment. It was branded as Core i7 Extreme Core i7 processors, despite sharing many similarities with Xeon models.
- Sandy Bridge-EP which also uses LGA 2011 socket for the Xeon E5 models aimed at high-end servers and workstations. It supported motherboards equipped with up to four sockets.
- Sandy Bridge-EN uses a smaller LGA 1356 socket for low-end and dual-processor servers on certain Xeon E5 models.
- Sandy Bridge Xeon with LGA 1155 socket were mostly identical to its desktop counterparts apart from the missing IGPU despite branded as Xeon processors.
- Gladden with BGA 1284 package and was intended for embedded applications.
IGPU is absent on most of these processors unless noted otherwise.
