The intelligent performance of the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series
also gives IT fine-grained manual control to adapt to changing priorities
or to meet service-level agreements (SLAs). For example, Intel Intelligent
Power Technology enables policy-based control that allows processors
to operate at optimal frequency and power. The operating systems can
make this determination automatically, or administrators can designate
which applications require high-frequency processing and which should
be executed at lower frequencies to conserve power.

Automating Energy Efficiency
After decades of IT build-out, server sprawl is escalating system
management costs and outstripping available data center space,
power and cooling capabilities. In a recent survey, 42 percent of data
center owners said they would exceed power capacity within the next
12-24 months, and 39 percent said they would exceed cooling capacity
in the same timeframe.

Energy efficiency is becoming a critical issue in
the data center.
Intel Xeon processor 5600 series automatically regulates power
consumption to combine industry-leading energy efficiency with
intelligent performance that adapts to your workload. With capabilities
such as new lower power SKUs and low-voltage memory options that
can save up to 10 percent in memory power,

In addition, Intel Intelligent Power Technology makes power available
for critical workloads while conserving power when there is less demand.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is also available, which allows processors
to deliver higher speed execution on demand by using available power
to run at a higher frequency, Intel Xeon processor 5600 series gives
you the intelligent performance and flexibility you need to build the
data center of the future today.
