Servers are very complex machines, especially in the “big iron” class where multi-processor configurations are the norm. The Intel Xeon processor E7 family is designed to support a multitude of shipping configurations and the model numbering schema is attempting to clarify the wayness and feature choices that customers have. In the
current generation Intel Xeon processor E7 family scalable platform situation, the performance throughput increases at up to 94% efficiency from 2- to 8- sockets. However, in a two- socket server configuration, there is no appreciable difference in performance regardless of the processor SKU chosen – Intel Xeon processors E7- 8870/4870/2870 and others shown in Table 1 above are equivalent.
