Intel® Xeon® Processor-based Platforms Overview Platform Feature Intel® Xeon® processor 33001 series Intel® Xeon® processor 31001 series Intel® Core™ microarchitecture 1333 MHz front-side bus Dual-channel DDR2 memory with ECC Intel® 64 Architecture2 Intel® Virtualization Technology3 for directed I/O PCI Express* serial I/O User Benefit • Based on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture • 64-bit computing • Up to 12 MB on-die cache • 1333 MHz front-side bus • Based on Intel Core microarchitecture • 64-bit computing • 1333 MHz front-side bus • Better performance on multiple application types and user environments at a substantially reduced power envelope • Up to 10.6 Gb/s with 1333 MHz • Up to 8 GB dual-channel DDR2 Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory with Intel® 3200 chipset that checks and corrects many common system memory errors • Enables extended memory addressability for server applications • Enables more operating systems and software to run in today's virtual environments • Developed with virtualization software providers to enable greater functionality and compatibility compared to non-hardware-assisted virtual environments • Intel® Virtualization Technology provides hardware assist to virtualization software, enabling your servers to support both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems and applications on the same server. Implementing virtualization enables businesses to get the most out of server investment by running more applications on each server. • Industry-standard serial I/O capable of up to 4 Gb/s peak bandwidth with x8 link with Intel 3200 chipset What is the 3000 Sequence? At Intel, our processor sequence numbers are intended to help clarify processor features, capabilities and intended usages. Intel offers four processor number sequences for server applications: • Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 sequence: One-processor servers for small business, entry, or first server based on the Intel Xeon processor. • Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 sequence: Two-processor general-purpose, standard high-volume servers, HPC systems, and workstations based on the Intel Xeon processor. • Intel® Xeon® processor 7000 sequence: Greater scalability with 4- to 32-processor enterprise servers based on the Intel Xeon processor. • Intel® Itanium® processor 9000 sequence: Maximum performance and scalability for RISC replacement usage with 2- to 512-processor servers.
