Datasheet
Product Features
The Intel
®
Xeon™ processor with 512 KB L2 cache is designed for high-performance dual-
processor workstation and server applications. Based on the Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-
architecture and the new Hyper-Threading Technology, it is binary compatible with previous
Intel Architecture (IA-32) processors. The Intel Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache is
scalable to two processors in a multiprocessor system providing exceptional performance for
applications running on advanced operating systems such as Windows XP*, Windows* 2000,
Linux*, and UNIX*. The Intel Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache delivers compute power at
unparalleled value and flexibility for powerful workstations, internet infrastructure, and
departmental server applications. The Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture and Hyper-
Threading Technology deliver outstanding performance and headroom for peak internet server
workloads, resulting in faster response times, support for more users, and improved scalability.
