List of Intel Xeon processors (Yonah-based)
This entry details the Intel Xeon processors based on the Yonah microarchitecture. The Yonah microarchitecture was primarily designed for mobile applications and low-power computing, and its utilization in the Xeon line was limited. These Xeon processors were generally lower-end models, targeted towards space-constrained or power-sensitive server environments.
Yonah-based Xeons are characterized by their dual-core design and a shared L2 cache. They support features such as Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x), although the specific feature set might vary between models. They typically connect to the system via a Socket 479 mPGA interface. These processors are also known for their relatively small thermal design power (TDP), contributing to lower power consumption and heat generation.
Compared to later Xeon generations based on the Core microarchitecture and subsequent architectures, Yonah-based Xeons offer significantly lower performance. They were quickly superseded by newer, more powerful, and more efficient Xeon processors. Therefore, they are largely considered obsolete in most modern server environments.
Key features of Yonah-based Xeons include:
- Dual-core processing
- Shared L2 cache
- Socket 479 mPGA support
- Support for Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) - varies by model
- Low TDP
Models within the Yonah-based Xeon family were generally designated with a model number beginning with "L", denoting low-power consumption. Specific models included within this limited Xeon family would be specified in a more detailed listing, if available and sufficiently sourced. However, the family's overall market presence and longevity were relatively short.
