• Power-efficient performance designed into the platform to
help reduce operating costs while delivering higher performance
than previous-generation Intel Pentium processor-based
server platforms. Lower power consumption can also result
in slower fans and quieter servers.

• The Intel® Xeon® processor L3360 provides a 30W reduction in
thermal design power (TDP) at the same frequency as the Intel
Xeon processor X3360. The Intel® Xeon® processor L3110
provides a 20W reduction in TDP at the same frequency as
the Intel Xeon processor E3110. The lower TDP makes these
processors ideal for building entry-level servers for thermally
sensitive, space-constrained environments.

• PCI Express,* today’s mainstream I/O technology, helps enable
fast I/O transactions to assist peripherals to keep up with our
high-performance processors and chipsets, and builds in
scalability for the future. The Intel® 3210 chipset offers an
additional PCI Express I/O for even more expansion possibilities.
