Processor 5100 Series

Driving Energy-efficient Performance in New Dual-Processor Platforms

Product Brief

Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 Series

Intel’s newest dual-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations 

delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core™ 

microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing.

The 64-bit Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100

1

series enables next-generation platforms that can drive

energy-efficient infrastructures to optimize data center density, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and

improve business continuity, redefining what DP servers and workstations should deliver to help businesses 

be more efficient, dependable, and agile. 

The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series is ideal for intense computing environments, 32-bit and 64-bit

business-critical applications and high-end workstations. Combined with the Intel® 5000 chipset family and Fully

Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology, the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based platforms 

are expected to deliver up to 3 times the performance and over 3 times the performance/watt of previous-

generation single-core Intel® Xeon® processors. The new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based

platforms are expected to deliver up to 2 times the performance and over 2 times the performance/watt 

of previous-generation dual-core Intel Xeon processors.
