Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor-based Platforms Overview
Platform Feature User Benet
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor
3200
1
series
• Based on Intel Core microarchitecture
• 64-bit, quad-core computing with large 8 MB on-die cache
• 1066 MHz front-side bus
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor
3000
1
sequence
• Based on Intel Core microarchitecture
• 64-bit computing
• New 1333 and 1066 MHz front-side bus
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture
• Better performance on multiple application types and user environments at a substantially reduced power envelope
1066 MHz and 1333 MHz
front-side buses
• Up to 8.6 GB/s with 1066 MHz and up to 10.6 GB/s with 1333 MHz
Dual-channel DDR2 memory
with ECC
• Up to 8 GB dual-channel DDR2 Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory with Intel® 3200 chipset that checks and
corrects many common system memory errors
Intel® 64 Architecture
2
• Enables extended memory addressability for server applications
Intel® Virtualization Technology
3
for directed I/O
• Enables more operating systems and software to run in today’s virtual environments
• Developed with virtualization software providers to enable greater functionality and compatibility compared to non-
hardware-assisted virtual environments
• Intel® Virtualization Technology provides hardware assist to virtualization software, enabling your servers to
support both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems and applications on the same server. Implementing virtualization
enables businesses to get the most out of server investment by running more applications on each server.
PCI Express* serial I/O
• Industry-standard serial I/O capable of up to 4 GB/s peak bandwidth with x8 link with Intel 3200 chipset
