Intel Xeon 5650 Westmere EP

The Intel® Xeon processor 5600 Westmere series, with Intel® Microarchitecture Nehalem, automatically regulates power consumption to combine industry-leading energy efficiency with intelligent performance that adapts to your workload. These processors are based on the new 32nm production technology, and can deliver up to 40% better performance than the previous generation. The Intel® Xeon 5600 Series integrates Intel® TurboBoost Technology, Intel® Intelligent Power Technology and Next Generation Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® VT FlexMigration, Intel® VT FlexPriority, and Intel® 64 architecture and also provides chip-based AES instructions to accelerate performance for encrypted, secure transactions.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, together with Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, delivers performance on demand, letting processors operate above the rated frequency to speed specific workloads and reduce power consumption during low utilization periods.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology benefits from larger caches and massive memory bandwidth, delivering greater throughput and responsiveness for multi-threaded applications.

Intel® QuickPath Technology and an integrated memory controller speed traffic between processors and I/O controllers for bandwidth intensive applications, delivering up to 3.5x the bandwidth for technical computing.

Intel® Virtualization Technology combined with software-based virtualization solutions provide maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server if needed. By abstracting the software away from the underlying hardware, a world of new usage models opens up that reduce costs, increase management efficiency, strengthen security, while making your server infrastructure more resilient in the event of a disaster.
