Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence - Summary

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

TPC Benchmark* E comparison to prior generation Intel® Xeon® is based on the best published results on each platform. The best published result with Intel® Xeon® processor X5570 was obtained using TPC Benchmark* E kit 1.7, and the best published result with Intel® Xeon® processor X5690 was obtained using TPC Benchmark* E kit 1.12. Differences in kits may impact performance.

SPECompM* and SPECompL* results on Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series-based server were obtained using 24 OpenMP threads over two sockets, on Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series-based server 16 OpenMP threads over two sockets were used, on Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series-based server 8 OpenMP threads over two sockets were used. For more information see the detailed HPC section.

SPECmpi*M2007 results on Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 and Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series-based clusters were obtained for power of two MPI rank counts from 16 to 128 in fully-subscribed mode on each cluster node. Results on Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 were obtained on the same node counts in fully-subsribed mode with MPI rank counts from 24 to 192. For more information see the detailed HPC section.

Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel® HT Technology and an Intel® HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology, see www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a platform with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your platform manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/.

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
