| Performance. Efficiency. Agility. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 30001 series, Intel's newest dual-core processor for single/uni-processor (UP) servers, delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 3000 series is ideal for first time small business server computing needs. Combined with the Intel S3000/S3200 chipset family and ECC DDR2 memory technology, the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 3000/3200 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 3 times the performance and 3.5 times the performance/watt of previous-generation single-core Intel Xeon processors. |
| Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 3000 Series Features and Benefits | |
|---|---|
| Dual-core processing | Significant performance headroom, especially for multi-threaded applications, helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness. |
| Intel® Core™ microarchitecture | Better performance on multiple application types and user environments at a substantially reduce power envelope. |
| All SKUs at 65W | Significantly lower power (compared to previous generation) helps improve data center density and power/thermal operating costs. |
| Up to 4 MB shared L2 cache | Increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-processor data transfers, maximizing main memory to processor bandwidth and reducing latency. Entire L2 cache can be allocated to one core. |
| 1066 or 1333 MHz system bus | Fast system bus speeds for increased throughput. |
| Intel® Virtualization Technology | New processor hardware enhancements that support software-based virtualization, enabling migration of more environments - including 64-bit OSs and applications - to virtual environments. |
| Intel® 64 | Flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. |
| Enhanced Intel® Speedstep™ Technology | Helps reduce average system power consumption and potentially improves system acoustics. |
