¹ Intel measured results as of Aug 22, 07. Performance comparisons made using an internal virtualization workload on Xeon X5365 Series Processor running at 2.66GHz/1333/2X4MB L2, 16GB memory and Xeon X7350 Series Processor running at 2.93GHz/1066/2X4MB L2, 32GB memory. Actual performance may vary. See your Intel representative for more information. Intel Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance or other virtualization technology benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
