•Intel VT Flex Migration — Intel
•New features include Error Correcting Code (ECC) system bus, new memory mirroring, and I/O hot- plug
Intel Xeon 5400 Quad Core Processors
The
Intel's 45 nm uses 820 million transistors in the Intel Xeon processor 5400 series (Intel Xeon processor 5300 series has 582 million transistors). More transistors deliver more capability, performance, and energy efficiency through expanded power management capabilities. Other enhancements are designed to reduce virtualization overhead. And 47 new Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4) instructions can help improve the performance of media and
Other features include:
•Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology that increases memory speed to 800 MHz and significantly improves data throughput
•Memory mirroring and sparing designed to predict a failing DIMM and copy the data to a spare memory DIMM, increasing server availability and uptime
•Support for up to 128 GB memory
•Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which results in decreased power consumption and heat production
Memory System
The Intel Xeon Server Blade is equipped with eight FBDIMM slots supporting Registered DDR1 SDRAM. Supported capacity includes 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB,
