Using the SPECint_rate_base2006 benchmark, which measures integer throughput, a Fujitsu-Siemens® PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server based on the quad-core Intel Xeon Processor X5365 scored 98.9, setting a new world record1. Using the SPECjbb™2005 benchmark, a Dell® PowerEdge® 1950 server based on the quad-core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5365 broke the previous record with a score of 238,472 business operations per second1.

A number of systems vendors are supporting the new processors, including Dell®, Fujitsu Siemens Computers®, HP®, IBM®, SGI®, SuperMicro®, Rackable Systems®, Verari® and more than 40 others.

Enhanced Capabilities

Intel also integrated advanced technology capabilities into the Intel Xeon Processors X5365 and L5335 to streamline virtualization and further improve energy efficiency. In addition to Intel® Virtualization Technology, which increases the efficiency of virtualization solutions and enables 64-bit guest operating system support, the processors also feature new Intel Virtualization Technology processor extensions for improved interrupt handling in virtualization of 32-bit Microsoft Windows® Operating Systems.

As part of Intel’s efforts to ensure that system builders can meet energy efficiency requirements, and end-users can continue to manage their overall energy consumption, these processors include new system-transparent energy smart technology that reduces idle power usage by up to 50 percent.

In addition to including this technology on the new quad-core processors, Intel is driving its entire volume server processor line to take advantage of this new lower idle power utilization.
