The Intel® Xeon® processor 5300¹ series, is the industry's first quad-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations. Built on Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture, these processors deliver industry leading performance and virtualization, and offer new levels of energy efficiency to help reduce cooling and density challenges. Intel Xeon processors support both 64-bit and 32-bit applications.

In addition to the 5300 servers being based on the Intel® Xeon® processor, 5000 and 5100 series deliver twice the performance of previous single-core platforms, while greatly improving power efficiency by up to 3X². Plus, new advancements in memory, I/O, and reliability help optimize the platform for the demands of multi-core processing and virtualization environments. Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers provide a stable, reliable, long-term foundation for standardizing data centers, as well as deploying IT solutions with growing small and medium-sized businesses.
