Features
Benefits
New 45nm enhanced Intel® Core™
microarchitecture
• Boosts performance on multiple applications/user environments and data-demanding
workloads, while enabling denser deployments through improved performance-per-watt.
• Reduced idle processor power lowers average power consumption.
Multi-core processing
• Increases performance and headroom for multi-threaded applications and heavy
multi-tasking scenarios.
• Helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness.
5400 series: 12 MB on-die L2 cache (2x6 MB)
5200 series: 6 MB on-die L2 cache
• Increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-core data transfers and maximizes main memory-toprocessor bandwidth.
• Reduces latency by storing larger data sets closer to the processor, reducing the number of trips
to main memory.
Intel® Virtualization Technology2
• A suite of processor enhancements assists software to deliver more efficient virtualization
solutions and greater capabilities, including 64-bit guest OS support.
• Intel® VT FlexPriority, a new Intel® VT extension, optimizes virtualization software efficiency by
improving interrupt handling.4
• Intel® VT FlexMigration enables Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 and 5200 series-based
systems to be added to the existing virtualization pool with single, 2, or 4+ socket Intel Core
microarchitecture-based systems.
Intel® 64 architecture3
• Flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
Ultra-dense low-power processor
options (L5408 at 40 W TDP)
• Improves performance-per-watt.
• Reduces power/thermal operating costs and improves density.
• Ideal for NEBS Level-3 ambient operating temperature specifications (thermal profile).
• Ideal for smaller form factors with thermal constraints (blades), especially solutions that require
compliance with AdvancedTCA* form factor specifications (PICMG 3.0).
Embedded lifecycle product support
• Protects system investment with extended product availability.
47 new Intel® SSE4 instructions
• Improves performance of media and high-performance computing applications such as compiler,
imaging, video and graphics applications.
