Intel® Xeon 5300 Processor

Break through Performance from the Industry’s First Quad-Core Standard High-Volume Processor. This new quad-core processor will enable server customers to turbo boost their general purpose servers with breakthrough energy-efficient performance, greater density and fewer cooling challenges.

The Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 processor provides up to 50 percent better performance8 (SPE Cint Rate) than dual-core 2-way Intel Xeon processors on certain applications. The additional threads from quad-core technology and key Intel platform-level innovations deliver the most headroom for running multiple applications simultaneously and virtualized environments on a two-way server.

The Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series will feature 2.66 GHz
to 1.60 GHz cores speeds, 1333 to 1066 MHz bus speeds, and a 105 watt thermal design point (TDP). A low power version (L5310) with a 50 watt TDP will be available in the first quarter of 2007. Another version will be available for single-processor servers and workstations in the same time frame.
