Intel

Intelligent Power Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel

processor, chipset, BIOS and for some features, an operating system enabled for it. Functionality or other benefits may vary depending on hardware

implementation and may require a BIOS and/or operating system update. Please check with your system vendor for details.

Intel

Turbo Boost Technology requires a platform with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with

your platform manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost.

Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific

hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology.

∆

Intel

Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel

processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will

vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.

†

No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel

Trusted Execution Technology is a security technology under development by Intel and requires for operation a computer system with Intel

Virtualization Technology,

an Intel Trusted Execution Technology-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel or other compatible measured virtual machine monitor. In addition, Intel Trusted Execution Technology requires the system to

contain a TPMv1.2 as defined by the Trusted Computing Group and specific software for some uses. See http://www.intel.com/technology/security/ for more information.

‡

64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel

64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation)

without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.

15:1 consolidation and 5 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel

Xeon

3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel

Xeon

processor X5680 series-based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on

performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost

of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured server side java benchmark

results (Intel Corporation Feb 2010). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x.
