Intel’s newest dual-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing.
The 64-bit Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 51001 series enables next-generation platforms that can drive energy-efficient infrastructures to optimize data center density, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and improve business continuity, redefining what DP servers and workstations should deliver to help businesses be more efficient, dependable, and agile.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series is ideal for intense computing environments, 32-bit and 64-bit business-critical applications and high-end workstations. Combined with the Intel® 5000 chipset family and Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology, the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 3 times the performance and over 3 times the performance/watt of previousgeneration single-core Intel® Xeon® processors. The new Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 2 times the performance and over 2 times the performance/watt of previous-generation dual-core Intel Xeon processors.
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture delivers industry-leading performance and helps build energy-efficient infrastructures with Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 series
New Intel Core microarchitecture is an innovative microarchitecture, enabling you to build industryleading dual-core performance and performanceper-watt server and workstation platforms for the data center. This new microarchitecture integrates a more efficient pipeline and memory
