IBM Corporation - 13N0682

• Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP): 8533 MTOPS
• The larger integrated 2MB cache on this processor option represents a productivity breakthrough that can increase the performance of Intel Xeon platforms in cache-intensive computing operations versus the earlier 3.06GHz, smaller 512KB cache Xeon processors
• This increased cache size enhancement coupled with the 533MHz system bus transfers information from the processor to the rest of the system at a rate up to four times faster than the 133MHz system bus used on Pentium III processors. This will translate to increased bandwidth to route traffic on the Internet and help prevent the front-side bus from becoming a system bottleneck
• The combination of these processor advances optimizes the xSeries server price/performance and enables support of a broad range of software application solutions and operating system offerings

This Intel Xeon processor with 2MB L3 Cache helps deliver processing power, throughput and headroom for peak performance to your application-intensive servers. It features the new Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, which increases throughput via a 533MHz system bus and features the new Hyper-Threading technology which allows it to execute more than one thread per processor. These combined features increase the throughput of your xSeries server applications and enable outstanding scalability for Internet infrastructure and mail servers. These enhancements can add up to faster response times, support for more simultaneous users and increased transaction workloads. This processor is designed for customers who require performance headroom for unpredictable workloads and escalating computing needs. These enhancements coupled with fast speed DDR 266 memory deliver the processing power and bandwidth that typically comes with more robust platforms. By taking advantage of the performance, flexibility and compatibility of the Intel Xeon processors, businesses can closely match each solution to their specific application and business requirement. The result is a more effective infrastructure and a standards-based computing environment that can quickly adapt to changing needs
