IBM 40K1262 Processor Computer Component

Dual-core processors are unleashing a new era of server performance and flexibility, providing businesses with servers that can better handle today's complex, simultaneous transactions and escalating workloads. With two execution units per processor, they enable greater throughput and scalability, delivering the performance and headroom you need to grow your business cost-effectively.
The new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor boosts performance for 2-processor servers (compared to previous single-core products). The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 sequence boosts performance for 4-way and larger systems. Both of these processors support up to four simultaneous tasks or software threads and can run 32-bit and 64-bit applications at the same time. You not only get greater processing capacity, but can use it more flexibly to address specific business and application requirements.
