Introduction
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5200 Series employs the use of 45nm technology. Intel's 45nm high-k metal gate silicon
technology is the next-generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture. With roughly twice the density of Intel® 65nm technology, Intel's
45nm packs about double the number of transistors into the same silicon space. That is more than 400 million transistors for dual-
core processors. Intel's 45nm technology enables great performance leaps, up to 50-percent larger L2 cache, and new levels of
breakthrough energy efficiency. Intel 45nm high-k silicon technology can also deliver more than a 20 percent improvement in
transistor switching speed, and reduce transistor gate leakage by over 10 fold.
Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5200 Series supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology*. This technology enables the
processor to switch between multiple frequency and voltage points, which results in platform power savings.
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE:
Not all Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5200 Series are capable of supporting Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology. When
installing two processors, the processors must be identical. Mixing processors with different specifications is not supported. Intel
processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor
family, not across different processor families. See:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/
for details. Intel® EM64T
requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel
EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary
depending on your hardware and software configurations. See:

for more information including
details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.
