Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-4600 Product Family
Customers have a choice of upgrading their existing infrastructure to newer traditional 2-socket servers to achieve a certain performance requirement, or upgrading to 4-socket servers to reduce the total number of servers deployed. With the new Intel® Xeon® processors E5-4600 product family, customers can consolidate up to 2.5x more VMs by choosing 4-socket server deployments over the 2-socket servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series.
