Intel® Xeon® 5300 Quad-Core Processors
 |
Be one of the first to use the revolutionary performance of quad-core technology.
The Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core Processors are the industry's first processor with 4 CPU cores for two-processor servers and workstations. Based on the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, they not only deliver excellent benchmarks in terms of performance and virtualisation but also as yet unseen power efficiency which helps to avoid cooling and server density problems.
The Intel Xeon Quad-Core Processors are Intel's first-class solution to the increasing computing and processing demands for mission-critical applications. In terms of threading and performance, they offer maximum capacity for virtualised server environments of all standard two-processor servers. With platforms with Intel Xeon Quad-Core Processors and Intel® 5000 chipsets integrated with FBDIMM (fully-buffered DIMM) you get breakthrough performance with higher power efficiency - the processor performance is up to 1.5 times greater than the industry-leading Intel® Xeon® 5100 Dual-Core Processors in the same power envelope.
Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core Processors are compatible with the Intel® chipsets from the 5000P, 5000V and 5000X series. Server mainboards with these chipsets are optimised for quad-core technology and deliver advanced platform capabilities with the dual-independent bus and fully-buffered DIMM storage technology. They beat other platforms from the current generation in the 4x or 3x bandwidth. PCI-Express* and Intel I/O Acceleration Technology can help to increase the I/O performance.
