New Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series-based servers, HPC systems, and workstations are built with 45nm enhanced Intel ® Core â„¢ microarchitecture, previously code-named “Penrynâ€. The Intel ® 45nm technology uses high-k dielectric materials that are expected to fuel the ongoing performance advantages predicted by Moore’s Law for years to come, and significantly increases the transistor density over the previous Intel ® 65nm technology.
Intel’s 45nm packs 820 million transistors into the Intel Xeon processor 5400 series over the previous-generation Intel ® Xeon ® processor 5300 series, which had an astounding 582 million transistors.
Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series-based server platforms deliver incremental headroom and performance for your two-processor general-purpose server, so you can confidently consolidate applications onto fewer systems with fewer cooling challenges, giving you more performance per square foot.
