Dedicated servers Quad Core Xeon Nehalem EP maximize hosting performance

Quad-Core Xeon x5500 Nehalem EP Series

The Intel® Xeon processor 5500 Nehalem EP (Efficient Performance) series, with Intel® Microarchitecture Nehalem, brings intelligent performance to the most trusted server architecture. This was formerly code-named the “Gainestown” processor. It is the world’s most adaptable server platform, adjusting performance and power usage in real time to meet the exact requirements of your computing workloads, while allowing manual adjustment for IT control. The Intel® Xeon 5500 Series integrates Intel® QuickPath Technology, Intel® Intelligent Power Technology and Next Generation Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® VT FlexMigration, Intel® VT FlexPriority, and Intel® 64 architecture and also supports Demand-based Switching (DBS).

Intel Microarchitecture Nehalem boosts performance even further for critical workloads. Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases core frequency to improve execution speed as needed while Intelligent Power Technology conserves power on cores when there is less demand. For applications that lend themselves to parallel, multithreaded execution, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology reduces computational latency, making optimal use of every cycle.

The Intel® Xeon E5500 processor supports up to 16 simultaneous threads, with 32- and 64-bit processing capabilities, a new, inclusive shared L3 cache that boosts performance while reducing traffic to the processor cores. CariNet offers the Nehalem EP with 4GB DDR3-1333 memory (Up to 24GB). These multi-core servers help maximize productivity, enhance visualization, and improve flexibility to help researchers, engineers, and developers achieve more in less time.

For the budget-minded, CariNet also offers the E5520, which is identical to the E5530 except that it operates at 2.26 GHz rather than 2.40 GHz.

The E5570 differs from the E5520 and E5530 in that it operates at a higher clock speed (2.93 GHz), supports DDR3-1333 memory, and the system bus (Quick Path Interconnect) operates at a blistering 6.4 GT/s!
