Benefits |
|
|
|
|
| High-performance, energy-smart Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processors |
|
- Improve productivity through higher processing performance
- Provide significant gains over prior generation quad- and dual-core processors
- Maximize multi-threaded applications for faster concurrent execution
- Large cache size yields more transaction processing
- Lower overall system power requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ultra-fast 1333 MHz, 12 fully buffered 8 GB DDR-3 DIMM memory with up to 96 GB of memory |
|
- Scalable memory for computing-intensive enterprise applications and virtualized environments
- Operates at 1.5v power, which is 17% lower than the previous generation memory’s thermal design
- Ability to transfer I/O data at eight times the speed of the memory cell it contains, enabling faster bus speeds and higher peak throughput than previous generation memory
- Interleaved memory to improve application performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Integrated memory controller |
|
- Increases bandwidth directly available to the processor at reduced latencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Optional embedded hypervisor |
