Update Your Data Center Infrastructure – Reduce Operational Expenses
Data center sprawl tasks business budgets more than ever and IT managers are looking at a variety of ways to reduce capital and operational expenses looking at the total cost of ownership (TCO) over a typical four-year ownership cycle.
Upgrading from 2-socket Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family to the new four-socket servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family deliver up to 84% faster general application throughput performance and reduce TCO by up to 52 percent over a four-year period. If the installed base of 2-socket servers using the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series or older – the performance increase is even more dramatic and TCO even lower.

CPU2006* is SPEC's next-generation, industry-standardized, CPU-intensive benchmark suite, stressing a system's processor, memory subsystem, and compiler. SPEC designed CPU2006 to provide a comparative measure of compute-intensive performance across the widest practical range of hardware using workloads developed from real user applications. These benchmarks are provided as source code and require the user to be comfortable using compiler commands as well as other commands via a command interpreter using a console or command prompt window in order to generate executable binaries.
