Intel® Xeon® Processor 7300 Series Features and Benefits
Quad-core processing	Maximizes scalable performance and cost/virtual machines. Increases performance and threading headroom for multi-threaded applications and heavy multi-tasking scenarios. Helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness.³
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture	Better performance on multiple application types and user environments as well as data-demanding workloads. Reduced cooling challenges with performance per watt improvements, enabling denser data center deployments.
Large 8 MB of on-die L2 Cache⁴(2 x 4 MB)	Increases efficiency of L2 Cache-to-core data transfers, maximizing main memory to processor bandwidth and reducing latency. Reduces latency by storing larger data sets closer to the processor, reducing the number of trips to main memory. Up to 4 MB of L2 Cache can be allocated to one core.
1066 MT/s Dedicated High-Speed Interconnects (DHSI)	Fast, dedicated interconnects for increased throughput.
Intel® 64 architecture²	Flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)³	A processor hardware enhancement that assists virtualization software enabling more efficient virtualization solutions and greater capabilities including 64-bit guest operating system support. The Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series includes APIC Task Programmable Register, a new Intel® VT extension that improves interrupt handling further optimizing virtualization software efficiency.
Demand-Based Switching (DBS) with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology⁵	Helps reduce average system power consumption and potentially improves system acoustics.

¹ Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor series,not across different processor sequences. See http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.

² 64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, OS, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel 64 architecture-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. Check with your vendor for more information.

³ 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.

⁴ Each pair of cores integrates 4 MB of L2 Intel® Advanced Smart Cache.

⁵ Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology for specified units of this processor available Q2/06. See the Processor Spec Finder at http://processorfinder.intel.com or contact your Intel representative for more information.
