Product Briefs & Reference Guides
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300Δ 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.
In addition to the 5300 servers being based on the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor. 5000 and 5100 series deliver twice the performance of previous single-core platforms, while greatly improving power efficiency by up to 3X¹. Plus, new advancements in memory, I/O, and reliability help optimize the platform for the demands of multi-core processing and virtualization environments.
