Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 Family

Intel® Xeon® processor E5-based platforms strengthen data protection with built-in, hardware-based capabilities that encourage pervasive data encryption with a significantly reduced performance tax.2 Plus, to enhance cloud security and simplify migrations, you can pool resources and establish a hardware "root of trust" that enables dynamic migration of VMs from one trusted pool to another.3

These platforms also raise the bar for I/O efficiency. The new Intel Xeon processor E5 family supports Intel® Integrated I/O which reduces network and storage latency associated with virtualized workloads, and supports the latest PCI Express* 3.0 specification to handle bandwidth-hungry applications.4

Intel gives you more built-in power management optimization capabilities. Intel® Power Tuning technology and Intel® Intelligent Power Technology help optimize efficiency and reduce costs by allocating and dynamically balancing power at the rack, row, and data center level.

1. Programvara och arbetsbelastningar som används i prestandatest kan ha anpassats särskilt för att användas på Intel mikroprocessorer. Prestandatester, som SYSmark och MobileMark, mäts med hjälp av särskilda datorsystem, komponenter, program, åtgärder och funktioner. Om någon av de här faktorerna ändras kan även utfallet av testet ändras. Du bör jämföra med annan information och andra prestandatest för att får en helt rättvisande bild inför köpet, inklusive prestandan för den tänkta produkten i kombination med andra produkter.


2. Källa: Testning med Oracle Database Enterprise Edition* 11.2.0.2 med Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) AES-256 visar så mycket som en 10-faldig ökning i hastighet vid infogande av en miljon rader 30 gånger i en tom tabell på Intel® Xeon®-processor X5680 (3,33 GHz, 36 MB RAM) med Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives-rutiner (Intel® IPP), jämfört med Intel® Xeon®-processorn X5560 (2,93 GHz, 36 MB RAM) utan Intel IPP.


3. Inget datorsystem kan tillhandahålla absolut säkerhet under alla omständigheter. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) kräver en dator med Intel® Virtualization Technology, en Intel TXT-aktiverad processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code-moduler och Intel TXT-kompatibel uppmätt startad miljö (MLE, Measured Launched Environment). Intel TXT kräver att systemet innehåller en TPM v1.s. För mer information, gå till www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/data-security/security-overview-general-technology.html.


4. Intel-mätningar för genomsnittlig tid för en I/O-enhetsavläsning med lokalt systemminne i viloläge. Förbättring jämför produktfamiljen Intel® Xeon®-processor E5-2600 (230 ns) med Intel Xeon-processor 5500-serien (340 ns). Baslinjekonfiguration: Ett Intel-system med två Intel® Xeon-processorer E5520 (2,26 GHz, 4C), 12 GB minne vid 1333, C-States inaktiverad, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology inaktiverad, SMT inaktiverad, Rubicon* PCIe* 2.0 x8. Ny konfiguration: Meridian-system med två Intel® Xeon-processorer E5-2665 (C0-stepping, 2,4 GHz, 8C), 32 GB minne med 1600 MHz, C-States aktiverad, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology aktiverad. Mätningarna togs med en LeCroy* PCIe*-protokollanalysator med Intels interna Rubicon- (PCIe* 2.0) och Florin-testkort (PCIe* 3.0) och kördes under Windows* 2008 R2 med SP1.
