Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series Features and Benefits
Multi-core processing	Platform-compatible with other Intel Xeon processor 7000-sequence processors for ease of migration and IT stability Increased performance with 45nm technology and increased headroom for multi-threaded applications and data demanding applications Enables improved virtualization performance, increasing system utilization
Enhanced Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture 16 MB of L3 Cache	Boosts performance on multiple applications/user environments and data-demanding workloads, while enabling denser data center deployments through improved performance-per-watt 45nm Hi-k process technology enables larger on-die cache for better performance, and reduced transistor Increases efficiency of cache-to-core data transfers, maximizing main memory to processor bandwidth Reduces latency by storing larger data sets closer to the processor, reducing the number of trips to main memory
Intel® Virtualization Technology³	A suite of processor hardware enhancements that assists virtualization software to deliver more efficient virtualization solutions and greater capabilities including 64-bit guest OS support Intel® VT FlexPriority optimizes virtualization software efficiency by improving interrupt handling Intel® VT FlexMigration enables Intel Xeon processor 7400 series-based systems to be added to the existing virtualization pool with single, two, or 4+ socket Intel Core microarchitecture-based servers
1066 MHz Dedicated High-Speed Interconnects (DHSI)	Enables increased throughput and bandwidth between each of the processors and the chipset
Intel® 64 architecture	Flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating Systems

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 Intel internal measurements as of June 2008 running vConsolidate. System configuration: Intel® SDP platform 4 x processors listed, 32 GB memory (16x2 GB DIMMs), 2 power supplies, power management settings disabled in BIOS, 2xQLE2462 FC HBA cards (1 in use, 1 at idle).

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 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.
