Intel® Xeon® processor family

As mobile banking grows, banks must store and process more consumer data, all while expanding their private cloud computing capabilities. The new Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family delivers the computing power and agility they need to do so, including:

  • Adaptive performance: Automatically boosts performance when you need it for single and multi-threaded applications, including increased floating-point performance for high-performance computing workloads.12 And for unpredictable workload spikes, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivers up to two times more performance on demand than previous-generation turbo technology.134
  • Scalable storage: Increases storage scalability and boosts storage performance up to 30 percent.564
  • Pervasive encryption: Accelerates pervasive encryption by ten times with Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI).54
  • Secure virtualization: Combines servers from multiple generations into the same virtualized server pool to extend failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capability.

With these capabilities, banks can more efficiently manage the large amounts of sensitive data required to maintain a streamlined database and accommodate customers in a mobile world.

Product and Performance Information

open

1. Requires a system with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 are only available on select Intel® processors. Consult your PC manufacturer. Performance varies depending on hardware, software, and system configuration. For more information, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html.


2. Requires an Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)-enabled system, check with your PC manufacturer. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software used. Not available on the Intel® Core™ i5-750. For more information, including details on which processors support HT technology, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html.


3. Source: Performance comparison using SPECint*_rate_base2006 benchmark with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled and disabled. Baseline scores of 390 (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled) and 3XX (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology disabled) based on Intel internal measured estimates as of August 4, 2011 using a Supermicro* X8DTN+ system with two Intel® Xeon® processor X5690, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled or Intel® Turbo Boost Technology disabled, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology enabled, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) enabled, 48 GB RAM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux* Server 6.1 beta for x86_6. New scores of 593 (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled) and 529 (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology disabled) based on Intel internal measured estimates using an Intel platform with two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2680, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled or Intel® Turbo Boost Technology disabled, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology enabled, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) enabled, 64 GB RAM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux* Server 6.1 beta for x86_6.


4. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.


5. Source: Testing with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition* 11.2.0.2 with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) AES-256 shows as much as a 10x speedup when inserting one million rows 30 times into an empty table on the Intel® Xeon® processor X5680 (3.33 GHz, 36 MB RAM) using Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) routines, compared to the Intel® Xeon® processor X5560 (2.93 GHz, 36 MB RAM) without Intel IPP.


6. Performance increase is based on comparisons with available competitive information; actual testing will be conducted when the production-ready product is available. 


7. Intel® vPro™ technology is sophisticated and requires setup and activation. Availability of features and results will depend upon the setup and configuration of your hardware, software, and IT environments. To learn more visit: www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/vpro/vpro-technology-general.html. 


8. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology—PC Protection (Intel® AT-p). No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software, and an Intel AT-capable service provider/ISV application and service subscription. The detection (triggers), response (actions), and recovery mechanisms only work after the Intel AT functionality has been activated and configured. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be available in all countries. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.
