  • Testimonials

    A key concern for us is making sure that our HPC platform delivers the best performance in the most cost-effective manner. Testing of the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series showed that in comparison to the previous generation of processor, it could boost throughput by up to 30 per cent, significantly reducing our time-to-results.

    — Axel Knut Bethkenhagen
    Manager, Head of Corporate License Management, BMW Group

    To provide a highly attractive service for engineering, an optimal balance between energy-efficiency and single-core performance of microprocessors is essential. With our tests of the new Intel Xeon processor 5600 processor series we were able to demonstrate that Intel's new dual-processor server platform supports these requirements while at the same time being ideally suited to even the most demanding CFD applications.

  2. 15:1 consolidation and 5 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel® Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5670 series-based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on estimated server side java benchmark results (Intel Corporation Jan 2010). Platform power was estimated during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x. See http://www.intel.com/technology/security/ for more information.
  3. Intel® Intelligent Power Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, chipset, BIOS and for some features, an operating system enabled for it. Functionality or other benefits may vary depending on hardware implementation and may require a BIOS and/or operating system update. Please check with your system vendor for details.
