Platform Brief 64-bit Intel® Xeon Processor Dual Processor Server Platforms TM Make the transition to 64-bit computing now with Intel processor-based servers. ® The server platform of choice keeps getting better. Accomplish more than ever before with 64-bit Intel® Xeon processor-based platforms.
Intel’s most versatile server platform Mitigate risk, enable growth, and lower costs with the server platform of choice: 64-bit Intel® Xeon processor-based servers. TM Find the freedom to focus more on your business with proven technology For over 35 years, companies have been turning to Intel to solve their toughest business and IT challenges. We developed the first true general-purpose microprocessor in 1974, and today, more than 80% of servers are built with Intel® architecture.
Do more than ever before with ongoing platform innovation The power you need, the choices you want The power of this new generation of DP servers goes beyond the There are compelling reasons to move your business to 64-bit com- processor itself, to a platform that includes enhanced technologies puting now.
Maximum flexibility with 64-bit computing Compatibility Mode (64-bit OS/32-bit applications): This mode allows you to run existing 32-bit applications under When it comes to deploying 64-bit solutions, Intel® Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T)3 gives you a choice of three modes of operation. These platforms can switch between modes on a codesegment by code-segment basis for maximum flexibility. a 64-bit operating system (OS), which can greatly simplify 64-bit migrations.
Platform Feature User Benefit 2MB integrated L2 cache • More data can be stored closer to processor execution units for faster data access, resulting in higher system throughput and shorter system latency than previous generation Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology • Enables extended memory addressability for server applications Demand-Based Switching with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology • Enables platform and software power management features to lower average power consumption while maintaini
Enhance performance for data-intensive applications with PCI Express* And as the industry transitions from a parallel to a serial I/O With the increase in the compute performance of the 64-bit Intel platforms supporting PCI Express technology. With their scalable Xeon processor with 2MB L2 cache, the I/O (input/output) rate at architecture, these platforms provide a smooth upgrade path which data can be supplied to the processor increases correspond- to 10 Gigabit-based technologies.
