1. Performance increase based on Intel comparison using SPECjbb2005* business operations per second (bops) between four-year-old single-core Intel® Xeon® processor 3.8 GHz with 2M cache-based servers and new Intel Xeon processor X5600 series-based server. Intel consolidation based on replacing 15 four-year-old single-core Intel Xeon processor based servers with one new Intel Xeon processor X5600 series-based server while maintaining SPECjbb2009* performance. Costs and return on investment have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for information purposes only. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information, visit www.intel.com/performance/server/.
