describes the 1st generation of the 6000 series. Select HP ProLiant G7 servers use AMD Opteron 6100 series processors. The last two digits (XX) indicate a change in product features. The digits do not indicate performance. An AMD Opteron processor with a non-standard power level will include these - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 3
with Turbo Boost to increase performance and optimize the power use of the processor, chipset, and memory. Intel Xeon processors for 1P and 2P ProLiant servers We use Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors in HP ProLiant 100 and 300 series servers. The Xeon 5500 series processor has six cores that - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 4
products/server/processor/xeon6000/specifications. We use Xeon 7500 series processors in MP ProLiant DL 500-series servers. The Xeon 7500 series processor has four, six, or eight cores and a shared, inclusive L3 cache of 24 MB. A four-channel integrated memory controller supports up to 16 DIMM slots - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 5
reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. The Xeon 7500 series processors also come with Intel Machine Check Architecture Recovery. Figure 2. Block diagram of eight-core Xeon 7500 series (Nehalem-EX) processor All Xeon 7500 series processors support Intel HT technology and - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 6
and 4P ProLiant servers. AMD produces the AMD Opteron 6100 series processor with a 45-nm process. The processor features Direct Connect Architecture 2.0 and contains two dies on a single multi-chip module (MCM) package (see Figure 3). Each die has four or six cores, a dual-channel memory controller - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 7
, also called a probe filter, increases performance of AMD Opteron processor-based systems with four or eight sockets. It maintains of physical addressable memory. AMD Opteron and Xeon processors support 32-bit addressing and the 36-bit PAE. As shown in Table 3, the 32-bit instruction set for both - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 8
of the existing registers. With 16 GPRs, 64-bit extensions supply additional resources that compilers can use to increase performance. I/O architecture The I/O architecture of AMD Opteron-based and Xeon-based systems includes high-speed, point-topoint interconnects. The devices-AMD HyperTransport - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 9
to improve performance with multi-threaded applications. The NUMA design gives each AMD Opteron processor a local memory pool and then connects it to similar processors with their own memory pools. This design lets each processor access non-local memory. But access time varies based on memory pool - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 10
, and Serviceability (RAS) power requirements of inactive QPI links. ProLiant G6 and G7 servers enable this feature by default. You can change it through the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The Xeon processor determines when to put the QPI links into a low power state with minimal performance - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 11
to run at different frequencies and voltages depending upon computing demand. As a result, PowerNow! can lower server power consumption without compromising performance. Activate it through the BIOS-controlled Dynamic Mode of Power Regulator for ProLiant, which does not require an OS driver. 11 - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 12
. You can access Dynamic Power Capping from iLO Advanced menus or the HP Insight Control (ICE) management suite. Virtualization In a virtual machine (VM) environment, a software layer known as the hypervisor makes it appear that each guest OS has full control over the server's processor, memory, and - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 13
, BIOS, and firmware. HP ProLiant G6 and G7 servers protect against these threats by adding the hardware-based security technology featured in the latest Xeon and AMD Opteron processors. Intel security technology Xeon 5600 series processors use Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions to - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 14
benchmark tests the hardware and database performance of SAP applications and components. TPC-H simulates a Decision Support System or Business Intelligence database environment. In general, our latest benchmark tests show the AMD Opteron-based 4P ProLiant DL585 G7 server as the top-ranked choice - HP ProLiant DL380p | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x - Page 15
6.0. The Xeon-based ProLiant DL380 G7 and AMD Opteron-based DL385 G7 come in first in performance and price/performance, respectively, on the 100GB TPC-H benchmark.
