Intel® Xeon® Processor
E3-1200 Series
The Xeon® E3-12xx line of processors, introduced in April 2011, uses the Sandy Bridge chips that are also the base for the Core i3/i5/i7-2xxx, but with a different set of features.
Notably, the Xeon variants include support for ECC memory, VT-d and Trusted execution that are not present on the consumer models, while some Xeon E3 enable the integrated GPU that is present on Sandy Bridge.
Intel® Xeon® Processor
5500 Nehalem Quad-Core
If you need to start small, yet require extreme scalability, the Intel® Xeon 5506 Nehalem-EP is the server for you.
You can start with a single CPU and as little as 4GB of DDR3 memory, yet you can scale on-demand by adding another CPU and all the way up to 96GB of DDR3 memory on the same motherboard!
Intel® Xeon® Processor
5600 Westmere Hex-Core
The Intel® Xeon processor 5600 Westmere series delivers up to 40% performance improvement over the previous generation Nehalem due to 32nm technology (in the same power envelope).
The 5600 series also added directly assignable I/O, establishing the hardware foundation for best in-class virtualization performance for all virtualization and cloud computing demands.
Intel® Technology Platinium Provider
Platinum Level members are required to attend regular training events throughout the year, which allow them to keep their technical knowledge current. Additionally, Platinum Level members must maintain several industry certifications pertinent to their area of focus, and they must demonstrate an ongoing record of customer implementations.
Members of the Intel Technology Provider Program with Platinum Status have access to proprietary information, engineering support, and accelerated technical support from Intel, giving them the capability to create winning solutions based on industry-leading Intel technologies. And, they have the resources to offer a superior level of customer service and support during and beyond deployment.
Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products, and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live. Founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory products, Intel introduced the world's first microprocessor in 1971.
