No ivy bridge (i7-3770) support for nested virtualization?

Hello everyone,

I want to buy a Core i7-3770 CPU, but...

According to the official http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology page Intel

Who's "3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors" and "3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5" does not "Intel VT - x with Extended Page Tables (EPT).

This means that we will be unable to run nested virtualization on Core i7-3770?

Has anyone bought Core i7-3770 and it reached?

My Intel contact assures me that all processors of Ivy Bridge supports EFA.  He will try to have this fixed web page, but first, he must track down the responsible party.

  • Virtual ESXi / nested virtualization and VCA

    Hi all

    We tried to install some new virtual ESXi servers in our dev environment. to help our R & D.

    The problem is that our clusters must be activated EVC - Merom Genesis so that R & D for work stuff.

    I tried to use the following two articles:

    http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-support-for-nested-64bit.html

    http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/02/how-to-configure-nested-ESXi-5-to.html

    After finishing the first link, the ESXi virtual is able to run 64-bit virtual machines. So all is well (although I stumbled upon both problems with this - apparently, you can't physical host the virtual ESX running in a CVS in the first place of accommodation).

    So after the ESXi virtual is able to run machines virtual 64-bit, I continue to the 2nd link and it doesn't work. I do exactly what the guy said there is still the virtual ESXi is not compatible with the EVC cluster and the 64 bit hosted on the virtual ESXi VM cannot run after changes to the CPUID mask.

    Someone knows something similar? Someone has ideas of what I'm doing wrong or can give me some ideas on what to do?

    Thanks in advance,

    In my view, the following option:

    CPUID.1.ECX = 00000000000000001010001000011001

    should be

  • XPS 8300 - Ivy Bridge & RAM support

    I tried looking for a forum, post, comment... anything which confirms what is the maximum RAM supported in a Dell XPS 8300 and also whether Ivy Bridge CPU are taken in charge or not.

    I am yet to find anything conclusive (Please share if you have), so, I did the test myself and can confirm the following:

    • Ivy Bridge CPU compatibility: No.
    • Maximum RAM: 32 GB

    I tested my 8300 XPS with Intel Core i7-3770 processor (8 M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) and the system would not POST. No beep codes; just would not AFTER. Then I'm under BIOS A06, of course, this has not helped. I read on this forum someone talking about a BIOS A07 which came bundled with their XPS 8300 (0Y2MRG) of replacement motherboard. If anyone knows how to get this BIOS A07 I'd like to get my hands on it to see if it offers support of Ivy Bridge.

    Regarding the RAM, I am running 32 GB of RAM without problem. I use 4 x G.Skill RipJawsX 8 GB (1x8GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 PC3 - 10666C 9 Memory Sticks (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL). The BIOS and OS the two report 32 GB installed and everything works well.

    I hope someone benefits from my findings and I also hope that someone out there has access to the BIOS A07 is ready to share.

    You already know the answer, but I share this as another data point and using another brand for memory.

    Maximum RAM supported Dell for this system is 16 GB. However, it works very well with 32 GB of RAM. I've used this kit of memory in mine:

    Corsair XMS3 32 GB (4X8Go) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) memory (CMX32GX3M4A1333C9) Fund

    No doubt others works fine, too. The only downside is that most Dells would come with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and which only allows access to 16 GB of RAM. You must have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to access all 32 GB of RAM. You can make the Windows Anytime Upgrade to buy Win7 Pro if you want to go this route, it as if by magic basically makes your existing install in Win7 Pro, so you don't have to reinstall anything.

    If you put more than 16 GB in a system of Home Premium, when you right click on computer and go to properties, you will see the memory listed as 32 GB (16 GB usable). So the operating system you will see everything, it just won't let you USE it all. Hard, there is?

    I had looked at this issue and not have anything solid for an answer so I tried myself and write about my success.

  • Upgrade HP p7-1110 for Ivy Bridge CPU (Pentium G2030)

    Hello, everyone.

    Someone please tell me if I can replace the CPU for HP P7 - 1110 with a Pentium G2030 Ivy bridge?

    The motherboard is known as IPISB-CU (Carmel2).

    Thank you for your help.

    MSU1, welcome to the forum.

    This is supported by the motherboard processor upgrades:

    • Socket type: LGA 1155

  • I5-650 upgrade to i7 - 875 or wait for Ivy Bridge-E to be released?

    Then, when I bought my current motherboard, my upgrade path has been my i5-650, which is quite slow, to an i7. I've been waiting for a while for the price to drop on the i7-875, but they remain still at the 350-$ 400 (US) level. I like the i7-875 because it has unlocked. I have a Noctura C12P cooler, I initially intended to buy a unlocked i7 and overclock a little. Unfortunately my i5-650 has no an unlocked multiplier. I knew that when I bought it, but at the point where I expected to be able to upgrade the processor in the year. I did not yet as I used to be an editor very novist - now I'm at an intermediate level and my slow processor has really started to bother me.

    However, now I think that it would be better to wait for the Ivy Bridge-E, which from what I've read so far, should be a processor 8-core complete. This will allow me to take advantage of the four memory channels (my i5 only supports dual channel), a better CPU socket as the 2011, much more big cache on die CPU itself and of course the 8 cores that will be 4 times the physical cores that I have now. I'll also be able to update my motherboard if I leave with a new processor, which would be nice because my EVGA P55 THE limit myself to only 16 GB of memory, 4 x 4 gigs. When I built my rig, two years ago, 16 concerts seemed to be quite similar. Now, I know that I need 32 or maybe 64, so I need a motherboard that offers 8 DIMM slots - mine has only four.

    I'll have to wait about a year or two, depending on when Intel finally released Ivy Bridge-E, but I'm OK with it if it means a significant improvement in my render times. Now that I'm loading individual clips with many effects, color correction, etc... I see a lot more red in my calendar and I'm tired of waiting for the previews made and so I can back to work.

    Any thoughts on the Ivy Bridge-E and its release date, etc...? All I can find is that it is delayed until the third quarter of 2013, which is nearly a year away, but if the new format of 22nm chip is worth the wait, I will be willing to wait rather than take an intermediate step and then spend again in less than a year...

    Thank you!

    The upgrade should be based on what makes more sense than your workloads. From this moment you can already buy a motherboard Socket 2011 as there dropping in support of 8-processor Core (they are already avaiblible under the line of Xeon from Intel that is supported on the boards as the WS P9X79 which work as well consumer CPUs (Sandy Bridge (E). The difficult situation you're is you pushcaeed a platform that had a quick u-turn socket wise so upgrade has become limited and the cost of the CPU for the platform.

    At least with the 2011 Socket which is not goin anywhere any time soon. Ultimately, you must make the call whether to move your Board and CPU currently to something that will provide a significant increase in performance as a X 79 part of card with even the quad core (3820) or wait to get a piece of 8 native hearts which is already avaiblible with references of Xeon. Do not forget that there is a cost of considerble delta by adopting a 8 on the side of Intel processor.

    I hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of your day!

  • Ivy Bridge CPU Upgrade for Inspiron 620

    As stated above, I have a 620 Inspiron with a Core i3 2120 which is a Sandy Bridge processor. I have the opportunity to get a Core i5 3570 for a very good price, which is a processor Ivy Bridge, but the word is that the Ivy Bridge processors can be used in some of the Sandy Bridge motherboards with a BIOS update. According to my system in the Device Manager devices, I have the drivers for chipset H61. However, I can't have an answer directly from anyone or not an Ivy Bridge CPU will work in my computer. I thought that maybe someone from Dell could help me this clear up because I'm not sure I can return the CPU as soon as I remove it from the box. It would be a fairly expensive mistake. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't think that it will be possible, because Dell does not have a BIOS for your specific model supporting Ivy Bridge. They may have sold a 620 with Ivy Bridge, however the more specific model number will be different, and they contain different parts and require different BIOS. For example on the number of specific model, the original Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series had a model number of 7537, the new 15 Inspiron 7000 (same model) series has a model number of 7547 (different specific model number)

  • ESXi nested 5.0 FT question-> i7-2600, not supported for FT?

    Hi guys, I had an i7-2600 on a motherboard ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen 3 as a whitebox ESXi 5.0 configuration.

    I virtualized 2 ESXi 5.0 in a cluster with a nested running Linux VM vMotion & Storage vMotion works very well.


    If I turn on the FT central while nested VM is running, I get this error:
    The virtual machine is running in a monitor mode that is not compatible to the fault tolerance.

    If I stop the nested VM and enable FT, I met following th:
    An unexpected error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vm-441.
    Unable to access the mode for fault tolerance.
    Recording/playback is supported for VMS 64-bit only on some processors. Cancellation of recording/playback.

    I applied the settings of such reading mentioned in http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-nested-vft-virtual-fault.html
    the Linux VM nested.

    Stock of Intel VT physics 5.0 ESXi host and two guests of vESXi:

    SiteSurvey on the host physical and vESXi hosts all showed:
    Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz CPU processor type is not supported by FT.

    Am I right to say that in my current setup nested FT should work if I changed the CPU to one of those enrolled in
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1008027

    OR are having at least 2 physical ESX hosts the only way to have the full support of the FT?

    I'm sorry.  I would have paid special attention to your message.  FT is not actually supported in a nested environment.  Proofreading of the translation binary (replay.allowBTOnly) is not supported and is available for 32 - bit reduced nested.

  • Sandy Bridge for Ivy Bridge CPU upgrade in the W520

    Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge using the same socket. All tech sites say that we can do.

    What are the implications? With HD-4000 graphics I would now be able to drive 4 monitors? What other benefits are there? Energy consumption is slightly reduced, the speed is slightly increased.

    What are the limits of the chipset and BIOS implications?

    It's probably not about the money, but will it work?

  • G6-1262sa Pavilion: Pavilion g6-1262sa CPU upgrade v2, Sandy Bridge = > Ivy Bridge?

    Hi, thanks to the Pavilion g6-1262sa maintenance and manual cleaning and this great forum, I recently discovered that replace my i3-2330 m is possible with all sandy bridge i7 2620m processors.

    These questions may sound silly, but I continued my research and I have more ideas to confront reality as a couple.

    I realize that the compatibility is not only matter of editing the same socket, but also of the bios installed on certain motherboard, however:

    1. do you think it would be possible to Exchange Sandy Bridge (2nd generation) i3 - 2330 m for some Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) i5-3210 m?

    2 is the 32nm to 22nm manufacturing technology enough difference on its own (even if the rest of the architecture is the same) to prevent that to work?

    3 is the bios from my card mother g6 identyfying somehow installed processor? (if this isn't on 'the list' it simply won't work? "or what technical compatibility issue?

    According to some statements which I found it on some forums and sites (and a few facts documented free):

    Socket: the two processors are compatible with BGA1023 decision-making. (at least that's what I found, if someone could confirm I would be grateful)

    Difference of architecture: "The 3rd generation is called 'Ivy Bridge' and is essentially a copy of Sandy Bridge made on a smaller scale, or die." However, Intel also focused on beefing up of the onboard graphics in this generation. »

    TDP: both are 35 W

    Carrots: both are 2 physical (Virtual 4 - thanks to hyperthreading I guess?)

    Energy consumption: "Ivy Bridge CPUS also use less energy", "Ivy Bridge consumes less energy; around 10w, I think. »

    Temperature: i5-3210 m going 5 * C more - 2330 m - i3 shouldn't make much difference

    Looking forward to some responses, RacA

    It is not a technical incompatibility (socket) because as you probably know Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are backward compatible on most motherboards desktop. However, HP has only implemented gen 2d, processor Intel Core compatibility of the HM65 Express chipset that you a. motherboards supporting 3rd gen processors use the HM77 chipset. There is no another motherboard that will fit in your frame.

    Your analysis above, which was pretty good, left out the chipset, which you must always remember when assessing the possibilities of upgrade:

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html

    The HM65 supports a couple 3rd gen processors, but none of them are on the list of HP for your model. You can try one of those shown in the link I gave, but I think that there is a small chance that they will work.
