The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, built on a new generation Intel microarchitecture codenamed Nehalem, relies on three pillars to give data center administrators the efficiency and flexibility they need today.First, the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series features intelligent performance that optimizes the server's performance to fit the requirements of the business and the application. Second, automated energy efficiency reduces the operating costs of servers running Intel Xeon processor 5500 series by scaling energy usage to the workload and getting the most performance per watt of energy consumed. Finally, the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series helps data center administrators take advantage of virtualization with best-in-class performance and manageability in virtualized environments.Intelligent performance means servers running Intel Xeon processor 5500 series can adjust performance and power usage in real time to meet the exact requirements of users' computing workloads. Manual adjustment is available to give IT control of the server's power and performance. The automated energy-efficiency features of Intel Microarchitecture codenamed Nehalem delivers 5x improvement in power management capabilities compared to the first Intel quad-core server processors by allowing 5x as many operating states, a 5x reduction in idle power, and 5x faster transitions to and from low-power states. The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series helps server administrators take advantage of virtualization with innovations that boost performance, increase consolidation ratios, and enable servers of different generations to be combined in the same virtualized server pool, improving virtual machine failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capabilities.Intel Xeon processor 5500 series delivers up to 4x greater performance for high-performance computing applications than Intel dual-core processors. Two-processor servers based on the Intel Xeon 5500 processor have up to eight computation engines, 16 threads per two-socket platform with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and as much as 3.5x more bandwidth than previous generations
