  1. We plan to release a version of Intel PCM for the next generation of Intel Xeon server (with microarchitecture code-named "Sandy Bridge") shortly after the release of the processors.
  2. Yes, Intel PCM supports the measurement of memory and Intel QPI traffic on the Intel Xeon EX server line. In particular, you can measure these metrics on the Intel Xeon 7500 and E7 processor series (code-named "Nehalem-EX" and "Westmere-EX").
    Users ofIntel VTune Amplifier XE will be pleased to hear that you can now also monitor memory traffic from within VTune with the latest version.
