from unauthorized user pages. New #VE (Virtualization
Exception) provides hardware assists to reduce overhead
for deep memory monitoring (below the OS), which can
help organizations protect against new classes of stealthy
malware and zero day attacks. Intel® Platform Protection
Technology with BIOS Guard adds to these safeguards by
protecting BIOS during FLASH updates via protected
agent authentication.
• Measured boot for trusted infrastructure. Intel® Platform
Protection Technology with Intel® Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel® TXT) helps to protect platform rmware
and the OS kernel from pre-boot attacks. It also supports
Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0), with its stronger
cryptographic capabilities.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v4 Product
Family Overview
High Performance for the Broadest Range of
Applications and Environments
Advanced multi-core, multi-threaded processing
• Up to 22 cores and 44 threads per socket
Larger cache and faster memory
• Up to 55 MB of last-level cache (LLC) for fast access to
frequently used data
• Up to 24 DIMMs per two-socket server to support multiple
data-hungry VMs
• Faster maximum memory speeds than the previous
generation (DDR4 2400 MHz versus 2133 MHz)
Higher performance for diverse workloads
• Intel® Turbo Boost Technology takes advantage of power
and thermal headroom to increase processor frequencies
across a wide range of workloads
Higher performance for technical computing and
multi-threaded applications
• Intel® TSX instructions take advantage of hidden parallel-
ism to accelerate OLTP and other multi-threaded workloads
• Intel® AVX2 instructions accelerate oating point and
integer computations with support for 256-bit vectors.
This technology can increase peak oating point opera-
tions by up to 31%

, and is now optimized for mixed
workload environments
Industry-leading I/O performance
• Intel Integrated I/O provides up to 80 PCIe* lanes per
two-socket server, and supports the PCIe 3.0 specication
with atomic operations support for improved peer-to-peer
(P2P) bandwidth
• The Non-Volatile Memory Express* (NVMe*) specication,
supported by the Intel® Solid-State Drive Data Center
Family for PCIe, overcomes SAS and SATA SSD perfor-
mance limitations through an optimized register interface,
command set, and feature set for PCI Express (PCIe*)-based
Solid-State Drives (SSDs). For more information, visit

Smarter resource orchestration
Intel® Resource Director Technology with:
• Cache Monitoring and Allocation Technologies enables IT
to make smarter scheduling and load balancing decisions,
implement a new class of tiered services, and provide
guaranteed cache for high priority applications
• Memory Bandwidth Monitoring helps IT balance workloads
across sockets for optimized performance with enhanced
utilization and improved service levels
• Intel® Node Manager complements Intel® Resource Director
Technology by monitoring and controlling server power,
thermals, and utilization. In combination with Intel® Data
Center Manager, it enables IT to dynamically optimize
energy consumption at every level, from individual servers,
racks, and rows to entire data centers
Integrated storage features
• Advanced storage processor features include x16 non-
transparent bridging (vs. x8 NTB) for enhanced scalability,
and accelerated RAID for implementing RAID 5 and RAID 6
without a custom ASIC
Strong, high-speed encryption for data
and communications
Intel Data Protection Technology with:
• Intel® AES-NI and new crypto acceleration for RSA, ECC,
and SHA help to accelerate bulk data encryption and secure
session initiation protocols, enabling encryption to be used
more pervasively without slowing applications
• Secure Key provides high-quality security keys, as well
as random bits (seeds) for software-based key
generation solutions
