Servers based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400
series and the Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture help compa-
nies maximize data center performance and density, and improve
energy performance. Platforms based on Intel’s second-genera-
tion quad-core technology make it easier to deliver more business
services in existing facilities, or condense applications for more
efficient operations at lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

services in existing facilities, or condense applications for more

Two-processor platforms based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon
processor 5400 series deliver 64-bit processing capabilities
with 50% more cache (12 MB of L2 cache per processor),
providing more computing for general purpose applications.
The Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series is ideal for
dense computing environments where excellent performance
and performance per watt are key requirements. The energy
efficiency gained from the Intel Core microarchitecture helps
enable highly dense 80-watt or 50-watt processor-based rack
and blade form factors. This allows you to take back control of
data center cooling, power limitations, and space constraints
caused by server sprawl.

Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors 5400 series and Dual-Core Intel®
Xeon® processor 5200 series utilize a common microarchitecture,
common socket and common platform as existing dual-core pro-
cessors and quad-core processors. This simply means that adding
these new powerful, energy-efficient servers to your data center
is easy and requires no software tuning and minimal hardware
qualification efforts.
