Multitask more effectively with
Hyper-Threading Technology

∆

Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) is a groundbreaking

technology that boosts computing performance to keep pace with

today’s applications and operating systems. HT Technology enables

a single processor to function as two “virtual” processors by executing

two threads in parallel, allowing you and your software to multitask

more effectively than ever before.

Increase responsiveness with Streaming SIMD
Extensions 3 (SSE3) instructions

Thirteen new SSE3 instructions are fully supported by the 64-bit

Intel Xeon processor with 2MB L2 cache. Two of these new instruc-

tions can improve thread synchronization over the previous-genera-

tion processor supporting SSE2 technology, helping to increase

processor utilization, enhance Hyper-Threading performance and

increase system responsiveness.

Increase bandwidth and lower power consumption
with DDR2-400 memory

With the increase in processor bandwidth, it’s important to have

faster, dual-channel memory designs that can keep up. DDR2-400

memory provides better memory bandwidth and reduced latency

compared to older DDR 333 memory designs, and the power

generated is lower by up to 40%, which helps reduce the overall

system power requirements.

Enterprise servers that require large memory configurations (such

as those employing Intel EM64T) also benefit as the total power

generated is reduced in comparison with DDR technology.

Reduce your IT help desk costs with enhanced
reliability and system management

As you know, system hardware is only a small fraction of the TCO.

Approximately 70% or more of TCO is attributable to the people

who administer and maintain the hardware. One way to reduce

TCO is by improving system manageability.

Compatible with existing proven platforms

The 64-bit Intel Xeon processor with 2MB L2 cache is compatible

with a wide variety of existing platforms based on the previous-

generation Intel Xeon processor at 800 MHz system bus.

Incorporating the best thinking from the broadest base of industry

hardware, software and integration leaders, Intel’s world-class server

solutions help you lower your TCO. With over $500 million in annual

ISV investments and over 170,000 registered solution developers in

the Intel community you can be sure that Intel-based servers have the

widest software application compatibility. In fact Intel-based servers

support more than 20 operating systems and thousands of applica-

tions, all validated and optimized for high-availability, performance and

reliability. Also take advantage of built-in advanced security features

to help improve uptime and avoid unplanned costs. How to extend

the value of your server investments? With solutions offered from

over 20,000 vendors worldwide you can adopt a flexible approach

to growth and change with stable and long-lasting solutions built

on Intel platforms.
