Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series Features
Performance
- Delivers up to 2.25x performance improvement within a power envelope similar to previous processors
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
- Boosts performance for specific workloads by increasing processor frequency.
- Processor frequency may jump up to 399MHz for X series processors and 266MHz for E series processors
Intel® QuickPath Technology
- Delivers up to 3.5x bandwidth improvement for data-intensive applications.
- Intel QuickPath Technology is a platform architecture that provides high-speed (up to 25.6 GB/s), point-to-point connections between processors, and between processors and the I/O hub.
- Each processor has its own dedicated memory that it accesses directly through an Integrated Memory Controller.
- In cases where a processor needs to access the dedicated memory of another processor, it can do so through a high-speed Intel® QuickPath
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
- Boosts performance for parallel, multi-threaded applications.
- Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core or eight threads per quad-core processor.
- Hyperthreading reduces computational latency, making optimal use of every clock cycle.
New Memory Standard
- DDR3 registered or unregistered memory may be used
- Memory speeds include 800/1066/1333MHz
- Up to 144 GB of main memory supports higher performance for data-intensive applications.
Shared L3 cache
- 8 MB shared L3 cache featuring Enhanced Smart Cache
- Boosts performance while reducing traffic to the processor cores.
Intel® Intelligent Power Technology
- Reduces server idle power consumption by up to 50 percent versus the previous generation of two-socket server processors.
- Integrated Power Gates allows idling cores to be reduced to near-zero power independent of other cores.
- Automated Low-Power States puts processor, memory and I/O controller into the lowest available power states that will meet the requirements of the current workload.
