What the Xeon D-1567 is
The Xeon D-1567 brings Broadwell to BGA 1667 for gateway servers with DDR4. It launched in February 2016 with a 2.1 GHz base and up to 2.7 GHz boost at 65 W. Intel targets network appliances that need 12 fast cores with ECC on one chip.
Eighteen megabytes of cache carry routing tables and sessions. The high base clock trims per packet latency. Twenty four threads cover data plane plus control plane tasks.
There is no integrated GPU, so serial and network manage the node. The process is 14 nm. The multiplier is locked. DDR4 and DDR3 with ECC in two channels feed cores with up to 128 GB.
Buyers choose the board at order time with memory size and port tier. The 65 W rating suits 1U appliances with shared airflow. Crypto and virtualization units help VPN and guest workloads.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Xeon D-1567 is soldered to the board on BGA 1667 and cannot be replaced. Upgrading means replacing the board or the whole node. Boards pair the SoC with RDIMM slots for ECC and network ports for WAN and LAN.
BGA 1667 boards wire PCIe, SATA, USB and LAN per server design. LGA racks cannot take this BGA chip. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered packages.
Single socket nodes are the deployment. Growth means more BGA 1667 nodes. Service follows the server manual for heatsinks and airflow.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4 and DDR3 with ECC in two channels suit gateway nodes with large tables. DDR4 at 2133 MT/s lifts throughput. Start with 32 GB for routing use.
PCIe 3.0 with CPU lanes serves NICs and HBAs per board layout. The SoC adds SATA and USB plus integrated LAN. Dual 10 Gb paths cut add in cards in many builds.
Cooling has no retail mount pattern because the SoC is soldered. Vendors design heatsinks for 65 W with front to back airflow. Keep filters clean where appliances run continuously.
Upgrade paths
On the same package, the Intel Xeon D-1557 drops to 1.5 GHz base at 45 W for cooler closets with the same 12 cores. The Intel Xeon D-1587 moves to 16 cores for thread heavy stores. Both share BGA 1667 boards.
Eight core D-1540 parts suit lighter branches where listed.
Past Xeon D nodes move to later D-2100 parts. The D-1567 covers 2016 gateways where 12 fast cores with ECC must run at 65 W.
