Intel® Xeon® processor E3 family
Small business servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 product family deliver outstanding performance at a great value, enabling small businesses to manage their IT investments smarter.
Performance
Normalized to 1.0 baseline of Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400 performance
Benchmark description for small business benchmarks
A small or medium business will typically run several server applications simultaneously, such as e-mail, web, and database. This workload averages the median of three runs using WebBench*, DVD Store* Version 2, and Microsoft Exchange Load Generator* (LoadGen) to represent the applications most commonly run by small businesses. The performance of three Intel® Xeon® and Core™ processor-based systems were normalized to the 1.0 performance baseline of an Intel® Core™2 Duo E6400 processor-based system.
