• Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate
performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration
may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or
components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products,
visit Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations
• Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document.
Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported
and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
• Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family,
not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.
• Intel, processors, chipsets, and desktop boards may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product
to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
• Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-enabled
chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more
information including details on which processors support HT Technology, see here
• Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost
Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC
manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see
http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost
• Intel Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and
applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance or other virtualization technology benefits will vary
depending on hardware and software configurations. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in
development.
• 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers
and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.
Consult with your system vendor for more information.
• Lead-free: 45nm product is manufactured on a lead-free process. Lead is below 1000 PPM per EU RoHS directive (2002/95/EC,

― To help organizations protect data privacy at a lower cost, Oracle today announced a
breakthrough in the speed of the Transparent Data Encryption feature of Oracle Advanced
Security for Oracle® Database 11g Release 2 running on Intel® Xeon® 5600 series
processor based servers with Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel
AES-NI).
According to benchmark results, Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Transparent Data
Encryption shows 10x speedup in AES encryption processing rate and 8x speedup of
decryption processing rate using 256 bit keys on Intel® Xeon® X5680 processor utilizing
AES-NI as compared to Intel® Xeon® X5560 processor without AES-NI.

back in 2005 vs. refreshing on an approximate 15:1 ratio with a Xeon 5680-based servers in Year 1. Warranty cost assumes $750/year per server if purchased after the
initial OEM 3-year warranty period has expired. Actual total cost is $100,750. Source: Consolidation ratio calculated using the Xeon Server Refresh Savings Estimator

Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5680 based servers. Calculation
includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating
system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10
per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system
license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list
prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate.
Performance and power comparisons are based on measured server side java
benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2010). Platform power was measured during
the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared
to baseline was 15x.
