Multitask more effectively with
Hyper-Threading Technology
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
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 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
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.
