THINKSERVER PROCESSORS FOR
INCREASED PERFORMANCE
New Intel Xeon 5500 Series processors feature Intel's latest innovation in
® ®
microprocessor architecture. Intel
®
Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases performance of multi-threaded
®
workloads. It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base
operating frequency.
To boost your system's performance for advanced applications and
virtualization, make sure you have enough horse-power with dual processors
to fully engage your ThinkServer solution.
• Supports Intel Xeon 5500 Series processors (1.86Ghz to 2.53Ghz)
® ®
FEATuRES:
• Dynamically managed cores - High efficiency
• Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) - Increased productivity
• Integrated DDR3 memory controller - Maximum performance
• Intel QuickPath Interconnect - Increased bandwidth

THINKSERVER MEMORY FOR LOW-
POWER CONSuMPTION & RELIABILITY
ThinkServer DDR3 memory is the next generation of SDRAM memory that
enables high I/O data transfer rates through increased peak bandwidth
(1333 MHz) and reduces power consumption over DDR2 technology. Faster
data transfer rates mean higher performance, and with DDR3 memory this is
achieved without straining the system's power needs. Also, with Nehalem class
processors, each CPU can support a dedicated set of DIMMs. ThinkServer
systems allow as many as 16 DIMMs to be installed in a single server.
• Three Options Available (1GB, 2GB, and 4GB)
FEATuRES:
• Advanced ECC (2GB, 4GB)
• Higher bandwidth performance (1333 Mhz)
• PC3-10600 Registered DIMMs
• Low 1.5V Input Voltage gives a power consumption reduction
of 30% over DDR2
