Hello, ViktorGorchev:

I apologize for the delay.

Please refer to the following link http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-e3-1200v3-vol-1-datasheet.html Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v3 Family: Datasheet, Vol. 1, the difference is that DMI2 doubles the data transfer rate to 2 GB/s with a ×4 link. This family does support DMI2 and it can go up to 5GT/s.

Regards,

Amy.
