Introduction
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series is a server/workstation processor
utilizing four 45-nm Hi-k next generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture cores. The
processor is manufactured on Intel’s 45 nanometer process technology combining high
performance with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture. The Quad-
Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series maintains the tradition of compatibility with
IA-32 software. Some key features include on-die, primary 32-kB instruction cache and
32-kB write-back data cache in each core and 12 MB (2 x 6MB) Level 2 cache with

Advanced Smart Cache architecture. The processors’ Data Prefetch Logic
speculatively fetches data to the L2 cache before an L1 cache requests occurs, resulting
in reduced effective bus latency and improved performance. The 1066 MHz Front Side
Bus (FSB) is a quad-pumped bus running off a 266 MHz system clock making
8.5 GBytes per second data transfer rates possible. The 1333 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB)
is a quad-pumped bus running off a 333 MHz system clock making 10.66 GBytes per
second data transfer rates possible. The 1600 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) is a quad-
pumped bus running off a 400 MHz system clock making 12.80 GBytes per second data
transfer rates possible.

Wide Dynamic
Execution, enhanced floating point and multi-media units, Streaming SIMD Extensions
2 (SSE2), Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3), and Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1
(SSE4.1). Advanced Dynamic Execution improves speculative execution and branch
prediction internal to the processor. The floating point and multi-media units include
128-bit wide registers and a separate register for data movement. SSE3 instructions
provide highly efficient double-precision floating point, SIMD integer, and memory
management operations.

In addition, the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series supports the Execute
Disable Bit functionality. When used in conjunction with a supporting operating system,
Execute Disable allows memory to be marked as executable or non executable. This
feature can prevent some classes of viruses that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities
and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. Further details on
