The latest release of Superdome, HP Integrity Superdome supports the new and improved sx2000 chip set.
The Integrity Superdome with the sx2000 chipset supports the Mad9M Itanium 2 processor at initial release.
HP Integrity Superdome supports the following processors:
sx2000
Dual core Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor
Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor
sx1000
Itanium 2 1.5 GHz and 1.6 GHz processors
HP mx2 processor module based on two Itanium 2 processors
HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome supports mixing the Itanium 2 1.5 GHz processor, the Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processor and the HP mx2
processor module in the same system, but on different partitions, as long as they have the same chipset. All cell boards to be mixed
in a system must contain the same chipset, sx1000 or sx2000, but not both. HP Integrity sx1000 Superdome also supports mixing
the Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processor, PA 8800 and PA 8900 processors in the same system, but on different partitions, again only with
the same chipset, sx1000 or sx2000.
Throughout the rest of this document, the term HP sx1000 Integrity Superdome with Itanium 2 1.5 GHz processors, Itanium 2 1.6
GHz processors or mx2 processor modules will be referred to as simply "Superdome sx1000". The HP sx2000 Integrity Superdome
with dual core Itanium processors or single core Itanium 2 processors will be referred to as "Superdome sx2000".
