Intel Xeon processor 5400 series workstation product brief

Superior Performance for

Complex Compute Challenges

At Intel, we recognize that you need more than just processors that deliver greater performance.

That’s why we provide platform-based solutions that maximize performance, improve throughput,

and add new embedded technologies that give business, creative, and scientic professionals the

tools to solve problems faster, process larger data sets, and meet bigger challenges.

Two-processor technical compute servers and workstations based on the Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel®

Xeon® processor 5400 and 5200 series

integrate greater processing capabilities, faster I/O and graphics,

and increased memory capacity. These multi-core workstations and technical computers transform

complex data into actionable information faster than previous Intel Xeon processor-based solutions,

which means you can simulate more and discover faster.

The Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series is built with the new 45nm next-generation Intel® Core™

microarchitecture which delivers more performance in the same platforms and at the same power consump-

tion for data demanding applications, and has 50% larger L2 Cache, and new levels of breakthrough energy

efciency. Systems using two Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors 5400 series have up to 8 computational

engines delivering in excess of 100 GFLOPS to 64-bit applications, and delivers up to 34% higher perform-

ance on bandwidth-intensive benchmarks

over previous-generation processors. With two 1600 MHz

Front-Side Busses (FSB), data throughput and system performance can be signicantly improved – which

means you have the power you need to run demanding, multi-tasking, multi-threaded applications.

Performance and Density

• Second-generation quad-core technology delivers up to a 34% performance increase, giving greater

performance at higher frequencies.

• High-performance radix 16 dividers roughly double the divider speed over previous generations for

scientic computations, 3D transformations, and other mathematically intensive functions.

Performance Per Watt

• New 45nm process technology enables denser, more powerful HPC designs, plus quieter, cooler and

faster workstations.

• Intel’s high-performance and energy-smart architectures deliver more performance over previous

generations, enabling data centers to increase their throughput and raw performance while initiating

the same power envelope. Up to 5x the throughput of AMD processors.

Increased Throughput

• With four compute engines per processor, Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series delivers the

multi-tasking performance required to maximize your compute environment, enabling workstation

and high-performance computing applications to be more responsive.
