Be the first to experience the breakthrough performance of Quad-Core technology.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series is the industry's first quad-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations. Built on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, these processors deliver industry leading performance and virtualization, and offer new levels of energy efficiency to help reduce cooling and density challenges.
The Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series is Intel's premier solution for the growing computing and data needs of many business-critical applications, and provides the most headroom (threads and performance) for virtualized server environments of any dual processor standard high volume server platform.
Combined with the Intel® 5000 chipset family and Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) memory technology, the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series-based platforms are expected to deliver breakthrough performance with better power efficiency, delivering up to 1.5 times the performance compared to leading Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series in the same power envelope and up to 2.5 times the performance compared to the best published results of AMD Opteron Model 2220.
