Legal Disclaimers: Performance
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, Go to:
http://www.intel.com/performance/resources/benchmark_limit

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.
Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline
value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the
actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of
the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms,
and assigning them a relative performance number that
correlates with the performance improvements reported.

Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2): Intel® Advanced
Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2) provides higher throughput to
certain processor operations. Due to varying processor power
characteristics, utilizing AVX instructions may cause a) some parts
to operate at less than the rated frequency and b) some parts with
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to not achieve any or maximum
turbo frequencies. Performance varies depending on hardware,
software, and system configuration and you can learn more at

optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on
microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for
use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel

Configuration Details:
SECURITY CODE*: The benchmark app encrypts a test data using GOST 28147-89 cipher and measures data encryption speed
Baseline configuration: GOST 28147-89 cipher on Ubuntu* 14.04 x64, 2 Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v2, 2.7GHz, 12 cores,
64GB/1866 DDR3, 2 SATA/7200RPM, 1Gb network, Source is Intel internal as of August 14, 2014.
New configuration: GOST 28147-89 cipher on Ubuntu* 14.04 x64, 2 Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v3, 2.6GHz, 14 cores,
64GB/2133 DDR4, 2 SATA/7200RPM, 1Gb network, Source is Intel internal as of August 14, 2014.
INNOVATRICS*: Workload matched performance of identification request (1:n comparison). During identification phase,
fingerprint record from the input compared to all fingerprint records stored in ExpressID AFIS* and best matching candidate
together with similarity score returned as a result. Fingerprint records are stored in the data structure called fingerprint template -
digitized representation of fingerprint image. Reference fingerprint templates loaded into matching server RAM memory before
the test started (as for normal deployment), the benchmark evaluates matching performance - number of comparisons of
fingerprint templates per second. ExpressID AFIS contains multiple matching algorithms with different speed/accuracy ratio, all of
them were evaluated in this benchmark.
Baseline configuration: Innovatrics* Finger Print Matching Software on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise* SP1, 2 Intel® Xeon®
processor E5-2697 v2, 2.7GHz, 12 cores, 64GB/1333 DDR3, 1 SATA/7200RPM, 1Gb network, Source is Intel internal as of May 8,
2014.
