IBM Corporation - 88P9677

• Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) : 8160 MTOPS
• The combination of these processor advances optimizes the server price/performance and enables the support of a broad range of software solutions and OS offerings
• The larger integrated 1MB cache on this new processor option represents a productivity breakthrough that increases the performance of Intel Xeon platforms by up to 17% versus the earlier 3.06GHz /512KB cache Xeon processor
• 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 prevent the front-side bus from becoming a system bottleneck

The combination of these processor advances optimizes the server price/performance and enables the support of a broad range of software solutions and OS offerings

This 3.06GHz Intel Xeon processor with 533MHz front-side bus speed and 1MB L3 Cache helps deliver processing power, throughput and headroom for peak performance to your application-intensive xSeries servers. It features the new Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, which increases throughput via a 533MHz system bus and enhanced 1MB Level 3 cache. It also features new Hyper-Threading technology which allows it to execute more than one thread per processor. These combined features increase the throughput of your 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 that require performance headroom for unpredictable server 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 server platforms. By taking advantage of the performance, flexibility and compatibility of the Intel Xeon processors, businesses can closely match each server 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
