Increase Throughput with Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series
Intel Brief: IT Efficiency and Employee Productivity
In Intel IT tests simulating the daily workflow of a silicon design engineer, a workstation based on the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series completed multiple, concurrent electronic design automation (EDA) application workloads up to 4.75x faster than a workstation based on Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series and up to 1.37x faster than a workstation based on Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series. Performance comparisons are shown in Figure 1.
In our tests, each system completed a total of 24 jobs, using multiple front-end and back-end EDA applications operating on real Intel silicon design workloads. With a total of 12 processor cores, the workstation based on Intel® Xeon® processor X5680 provided higher throughput by running 12 jobs concurrently and completing them more quickly.
High-performance workstations based on the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series let engineers create and test designs more quickly using multiple EDA applications concurrently. This allows faster design iterations with more-demanding design workloads, accelerating product time to market. It also allows more validation cycles, enabling improvements in product quality.
