Quad-Core Benefits

Quad-Core Processors

Experience up to 50% greater performance than industry-leading Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors and up to 150% greater performance than the competition with the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series. Two-processor platforms based on the Quad-Core Xeon processors deliver 8-thread, 32- and 64- bit processing capabilities with 8 MB of L2 cache per processor, providing more computing for threaded applications. Hostway’s quad-core offerings are ideal for the densest of computing environments where performance is a key requirement!

Quad-Core Processor Advantages

Many server applications are well-threaded as a result of years of running in symmetric multiprocessing environments. Well-threaded applications will benefit from a higher numbers of cores, a larger cache and the higher throughput and memory capacity of Quad-Core Xeon servers.

Intel Core Microarchitecture

Better performance on multiple application types and user environments and reduces cooling challenges.

Large 8 MB of on-die L2 cache

Increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-core data transfers, maximizes main memory to processor bandwidth and reduces latency. Up to 4 MB of L2 cache can be allocated to one core.

1066 and 1333 MHz system bus

Increases throughput with fast, dedicated front-side buses.

Intel virtualization technology

New processor hardware enhancements support software-based virtualization, enabling migration of more environments — including 64-bit OS and applications — to virtual environments.
