The latest Intel® Xeon® processor monitors server workload and intelligently adjusts performance to meet spikes and lulls 1, so you get power when you need it and energy savings when you don’t. Making you look smart all the time.
Servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series automatically adjust performance and energy use, saving you money. Learn more about Intel® processors with built in energy saving technologies.
Take a quick tour of the technologies at the heart of the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series that make it the smart choice for virtualizing your data center.
Emerson Electric saw that servers with the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series could help them eliminate 3,600 physical servers and improve energy efficiency by 31 percent.
In redesigning its data center, Humana relied on servers using the latest Intel Xeon processor to consolidate, virtualize, and cut power consumption by 16 percent.
The latest Intel Xeon processors deliver more performance and automate energy efficiency. The result is more flexible virtualization. What’s your ideal consolidation scenario?
At the Server Room you can post questions for Intel® Experts and technologists. You'll also find videos, wikis, and discussions around specific products and technologies.
The latest Intel Xeon processors enable a 9:1Δ server consolidation resulting in an estimated eight–month ROI. We can help you choose which server is right for your applications and environment.
¹ Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance or other virtualization technology benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
² Intel performance comparison using SPECjbb2005 business operations per second between four-year-old, single-core Intel® Xeon® processor 3.8GHz with 2M cache based servers and one new Intel Xeon processor X5570 based server. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance.
