Stay energy-efficient and maintain performance
Migrate to quad-core servers that have the same system power envelope as single-core or dual-core systems. With multi-core Intel® processors, there's no compromise between power consumption and performance:
- Decrease the power required per processing core while increasing performance headroom, throughput, and scalability.¹
- Optimize the amount of compute resources available per watt of power consumed, per BTU of cooling capacity, and per square foot of server room space.
- Extend the life of your existing data center.
Get better performance at the same system power
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors decrease mainstream processor power requirements from 110 watts to 80 watts, relative to single-core processors. They also increase performance by more than 4x.² The net result is an increase in compute performance per watt.
