Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series (Westmere)

The Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series – the next generation of intelligent server processors - automatically regulates power consumption and intelligently adjusts server performance according to your application needs, maximizing both energy efficiency and performance. The secret to this surprising combination is Intel’s new 32nm Nehalem micro-architecture. Featuring Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, it reduces energy costs over single-core servers by automatically shifting the CPU and memory into the lowest available power state, while delivering the performance you need.

Intelligent Performance

- Boost your server performance by up to 12x over single core servers with processors that intelligently adapt to your workload.

- Enable new levels of secure server deployment by providing hardware-based acceleration for secure transaction servers with Intel® AES technology.

- Intel® QuickPath delivers the additional performance, bandwidth, and reliability required to support Intel’s next generation of dynamically scalable processors and platforms

- Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases performance by automatically increasing core frequencies and enabling faster speeds for specific threads and mega-tasking workloads.

Automated Energy-Efficiency

- Automatically regulate power consumption to combine industry-leading energy efficiency with intelligent performance that adapts to your workload.

- Get 40% more performance than previous generations without increasing power consumption with servers based on next-generation 32nm process technology.

Flexible Virtualization

- Combine servers from multiple generations into the same virtualized server pool to extend failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capability.

- Before the virtual machine boots, Intel® Trusted Execution Technology makes platforms more robust by providing enhanced security through hardware based resistance to malicious software attacks.

- Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT) for Directed I/O allows virtualized operating systems direct access to I/O devices, rather than routing requests to the hardware through the hypervisor providing up to 35% improvement in virtualization with increase threads and cache, in addition to 32nm improvements in latency

Smart Investment

- Delivers up to 12x performance per server over 2 socket single-core servers, enabling 12:1 server consolidation ratios, up to 90% lower operating costs, and an estimated return on investment in under 1 year.
