The Intel® Xeon processor 3400 series utilize the revolutionary Nehalem micro-architecture. These are the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core processors built on 45-nanometer process technology. The Xeon 3400 is designed for a two-chip platform consisting of the processor and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH), and enables higher performance and easier validation. The Intel® Xeon 3400 Series integrates Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® Active Management Technology, Intel® Trusted Execution Technology, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Demand-Based Switching, and Intel® 64 Architecture. DomainGurus is proud to offer the x3440, which brings together a number of innovative technologies to deliver intelligent performance at an incredible price.
Make no mistake – this “low-end” Nehalem processor provides performance that eclipses even the top processors of several years ago!
Intel Microarchitecture Nehalem boosts performance even further for critical workloads. Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases core frequency to improve execution speed as needed while Intelligent Power Technology conserves power on cores when there is less demand. For applications that lend themselves to parallel, multithreaded execution, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology reduces computational latency, making optimal use of every cycle.
This Intel® Xeon x3440 processor supports up to 16 simultaneous threads, with 32- and 64-bit processing capabilities, a new, inclusive shared L3 cache that boosts performance while reducing traffic to the processor cores. DomainGurus offers the x3440 with 2GB DDR3-1333 memory (Up to 24GB). These multi-core servers help maximize productivity, enhance visualization, and improve flexibility to help researchers, engineers, and developers achieve more in less time.
