E7520 and Intel

E7320 chipsets include an SMBus port for remote management operation

and support for a variety of third-party BMC (base management controller) and BIOS solutions

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3

• Better multimedia and encryption/decryption processing than previous generation, along with

(SSE3) Instructions

support for more computationally intensive graphics

Hyper-Threading Technology

∆

• Improved processor utilization and system responsiveness in conjunction with the new

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 Instructions

800 MHz system bus

• 1.5x system bus bandwidth increase over previous 533 MHz system bus platforms

Full 64-bit Mode: This mode delivers the memory benefits

of 64-bit computing (up to 1 TB). A 64-bit OS, drivers, and BIOS

are required, and existing 32-bit applications must be ported

and optimized to take advantage of 64-bit addressing. This

migration strategy provides 64-bit data manipulation and greatly

extends memory capacity—up to 1 TB for platforms based on the

64-bit Intel Xeon processor. To take advantage of 64-bit application

support you must have a complete 64-bit system in place including

your application, operating system, and drivers. Existing 32-bit

applications are supported without conversion in this environment,

however, they are not able to take advantage of 64-bit addressing

and the associated memory capacity.

Increase performance and security
while reducing costs

Dual processor servers based on 64-bit Intel Xeon processor with

2MB L2 cache incorporate a number of other new and enhanced

platform technologies that help boost business performance and

lower TCO.

Increase performance with an expanded L2 cache

Experience faster response times with double the L2 cache,

2MB, as compared to the last generation of Intel Xeon processors.

Because programs frequently use a subset of instructions or data

repeatedly, the larger L2 cache provides higher performance in

many server benchmarks.
