=== Xeon D ===
[[Xeon D]] is targeted towards microserver and edge computing markets with lower power consumption and integrated I/O blocks such as [[Network interface controller|network interface controllers]]. This allows Xeon D processors to function as SoCs that do not require a separate southbridge PCH.<ref>{{cite web |title=Intel's Xeon brand makes its first foray into SoC space with Xeon D |url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/intels-xeon-brand-makes-its-first-foray-into-soc-space-with-xeon-d/ |website=Ars Technica |language=en-US |date=March 10, 2015 |access-date=April 22, 2024}}</ref> It was announced in 2014 and the first Xeon D processors were released in March 2015. Xeon D processors come in an [[Solder ball|soldered]] [[Ball grid array|BGA]] package rather than in a socketable form factor. Xeon D was introduced to compete with emerging ARM hyperscale server solutions that offered greater multi-threaded performance and power effiency.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Prickett Morgan |first1=Timothy |date=March 9, 2015 |title=Intel Crafts Broadwell Xeon D For Hyperscale |url=https://www.nextplatform.com/2015/03/09/intel-crafts-broadwell-xeon-d-for-hyperscale/ |website=The Next Platform |language=en-US |access-date=April 22, 2024}}</ref>
