4 Processors The Dell PowerEdge M520 system features the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family, which offers an ideal combination of performance, power efficiency and cost. Featuring eight-core processing to maximize performance and performance per watt for data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments, E5-2400 processors provide high performance no matter your constraint - floor space, power, or budget-and handle workloads that range from the most complicated scientific exploration to crucial web-serving and infrastructure applications. In addition to providing raw performance gains, Intel's integrated I/O can reduce latency by adding more lanes and doubling bandwidth, which helps to reduce network and storage bottlenecks and unleash the processor's performance capabilities. Processor features The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family is designed specifically for servers and workstation applications. A summary of what's new and improved includes the following:  Up to eight cores per processor and 64-byte cache line size  Intel Integrated I/O supporting up to 24 lanes of PCIe 3.0, which can reduce latency  Faster connections provided throughout the system with support for DDR3 1600 MT/s memory and up to 8.0GT/s QPI  Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) allowing I/O traffic to skip the main system memory and be directed straight to the processor cache, which can provide a significant reduction in latency as well as allowing memory to remain in a low-power state  Intel Advanced Vector Extensions offering up to double the floating-point operations per clock cycle by doubling the length of registers, which can be useful for addressing very complex problems or dealing with large-number calculations that are integral to many technical, financial, and scientific computing problems  Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivering up to double the boost of the previous-generation turbo technology  Continued improvements to both Intel TXT and AES-NI helping to better protect systems and data.  Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology For more information on the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family, visit Intel.com. 15 PowerEdge M520 Technical Guide

Processor features
The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family is designed specifically for servers and
workstation applications. A summary
of what’s new and improved
includes the following:
Up to eight cores per processor and 64-byte cache line size
Intel Integrated I/O supporting up to 24 lanes of PCIe 3.0, which can reduce latency
Faster connections provided throughout the system with support for DDR3 1600 MT/s memory
and up to 8.0GT/s QPI
Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) allowing I/O traffic to skip the main system memory and be directed
straight to the processor cache, which can provide a significant reduction in latency as well as
allowing memory to remain in a low-power state
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions offering up to double the floating-point operations per clock
cycle by doubling the length of registers, which can be useful for addressing very complex
problems or dealing with large-number calculations that are integral to many technical, financial,
and scientific computing problems
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivering up to double the boost of the previous-generation
turbo technology
Continued improvements to both Intel TXT and AES-NI helping to better protect systems and
data.
