Principled Technologies, Inc.: Intel Server Board S5000PAL with Intel
Xeon processor 5160 WebBench 5.0 performance report
Another hardware difference between the servers was the number of processor threads, though both systems
offer four processing cores. The Intel Server Board SE7520AF2 with Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 2.80 GHz
contained Dual-Core processors with HT Technology for a total of eight threads. The Intel Server Board
S5000PAL with Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5160 contained dual-core processors.
With the following exception, we used the default BIOS settings on the server: we disabled the HW Prefetcher.
We began our testing by installing a fresh copy of Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition Service
Pack 1 on each server. We followed this process for each installation:
1. Assign a computer name of “Server”.
2. For the licensing mode, use the default setting of five concurrent connections.
3. Enter a password for the administrator log on.
4. Select Eastern Time Zone.
5. Use typical settings for the Network installation.
6. Use “Testbed” for the workgroup.
We applied the following updates for the test server from the Microsoft Windows Update site:
