IBM 44E4468 Processor Computer Component

The Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series is designed to handle any IT consolidation project with ease while maintaining peak load application responsiveness. With key innovations like large on-die L3 cache, support for four or more processors, and expanded memory of up to 256 GB, servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series is the ideal choice for your large virtualization projects and data-intensive, business-critical performance requirements.

he Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series is best-in-class for demanding enterprise workloads, with almost 50 percent better performance‡ in some cases and up to 10 percent reduction in platform power compared to previous generation expandable servers.◊

Designed and optimized for IT, these 6-core processors provide industry-leading multi-core processing and greater computing performance without increasing footprint and powerΔ demands. In addition, these processors are designed with Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), enabling an ecosystem of software-based virtualization from industry leading software providers.

- Scalable performance with decreased footprint and power demands;
- Industry's lowest watt per core platform with available 65 watt processor;
- Based on 45nm Intel® Core™ microarchitecture enabling low voltage options for ultra-dense deployments;
- Platform compatible with previous generation Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series.

Hardware-assisted virtualization technology
