15. The Intel Technology Advantage
Performance Leadership across a
broad range of applications and
Leading Architecture: standard benchmarks
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture offers 4-wide
execution engine, large on-die cache, and
dynamic power management features
“Tick-Tock” development model provides
consistent, predictable platform innovation with
decreased risk
Advantages of smaller
45nm manufacturing process leadership silicon
More performance
today, unique high-k technology with two 45nm •
More functionality
•
fabs running today, and an additional two more Lower power
•
coming online in 2008 Lower costs
•

16. Intel Xeon® 5500 (Nehalem-EP) Series:
An Intelligent Choice
Despite challenging economic conditions, there is an
•
unprecedented opportunity to refresh older servers
New Intel Xeon Processor 5500 (Nehalem-EP) is
•
best enabler of IT business value we’ve seen in years
Compared to installed single core servers, new Xeon CPUs enable
•
up to 9x performance per server1
–
9:1 server consolidation
–
up to 90% lower operating costs
–
estimated 8 month payback on investment1
–
Can You Afford Not To Refresh Old Servers?
