Product Family
IT organizations around the world are driving higher value into their businesses by
virtualizing their data centers and adding automation, so they can drive down costs and
deliver new data-driven services more quickly and efficiently. Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers
provide the foundation for this innovation. They account for the majority of all servers in today’s
virtualized data centers and clouds, and also power many of today’s highest-performing workstations.

Up to 35 Percent Higher Performance
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family provides 50
percent more cores and cache than the previous generation, along with
faster memory and additional hardware enhancements for virtualiza-
tion. These innovations deliver up to 35 percent higher performance on
average over previous generation Intel Xeon processor-based servers
across a broad range of benchmarks.

automatically increases processor frequencies to take
advantage of power and thermal headroom. This second-generation
technology provides higher frequencies and greater intelligence so you
enjoy faster performance and improved efficiency.

performance for
applications that rely on floating point or vector computations. The
most recent enhancements speed 16/32-bit data conversions, which
provide additional performance gains for select applications.

• New virtualization efficiencies. Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller virtualization (APICv) takes the value of Intel® Virtualization
Technology (Intel® VT) to new heights. By eliminating up to 50 percent
of virtual machine exits, it reduces virtualization overhead to 4 percent
CPU utilization.

Eliminating Network Bottlenecks
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family provides exceptionally
fast data movement in dense virtual environments to increase server
performance and accelerate network and storage communications.

performance and accelerate network and storage communications.
• Intel® Integrated I/O for up to 2x higher bandwidth. PCI Express*
3.0 lanes are integrated directly onto the processor die—up to 80 lanes
per two-socket server. This technology has been shown to reduce I/O
per two-socket server. This technology has been shown to reduce I/O
latency by up to 30 percent,
