- Based on 65 nm technology, the quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series combines the benefits of quad-core processors with dual-processing capabilities
- Significant performance headroom for multi-threaded applications using up to eight high-performance cores per platform to run parallel tasks
- Dual-processor platforms based on the quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series provide high levels of computing for threaded applications
- Each of two L2 caches is shared by two cores and allocated dynamically between cores based on application load; increased efficiency of L2 cache-to-processor data transfers maximizes main memory-to-processor bandwidth and reduces latency
- High FSB speed enables faster data transfer between physical memory, I/O and cores for increased throughput
- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology reduces average system power consumption
The quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series features the industry's first Intel architecture-based quad-core processors with extended lifecycle support.
Ideal application platforms include storage area networks (SANs), network attached storage (NAS), routers, IP-PBX, converged/unified communications platforms, sophisticated content firewalls, unified threat management (UTM) systems, medical imaging equipment, military signal and image processing, and telecommunications servers.
