Intelligent Innovation in New Computing
Product Brief: The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series
Delivers intelligent performance that can accelerate innovation and discovery with your HPC cluster
High-performance computing (HPC) solutions based on the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series (code named “Nehalem”) deliver intelligent performance to help you meet today’s most complex HPC challenges. By providing dynamic performance capabilities, energy-efficiency features, and more than three times greater memory bandwidth than the previous-generation dual-socket architecture, this new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture can increase your total HPC application performance by up to three times without requiring further investment in software development or increased power and cooling support for your data center. Create, explore, analyze, and visualize more information—faster than ever before.
Dynamic management of cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power delivers energy-efficient performance on demand. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology—Automatic performance improvements Automatic increases in processor frequency by up to 400 MHz can increase application performance, especially for singlethreaded workloads.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)
Maximum parallel application performance
Running multiple threads on each processing core—up to 16 threads in dual-socket quad-core systems—can increase total application performance up to 25 percent while requiring only a fraction of the power that would be necessary to support additional cores.
Integrated Memory Controller
Direct access to performance
Each processor accesses three channels of directly connected, native DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1,333 MHz through an Integrated Memory Controller, achieving up to 18.11 GB/sec of memory bandwidth per socket.
