Intel Xeon Processor with 512-KB L2 Cache
at 1.80 GHz to 3 GHz
Datasheet
Product Features
The Intel
Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache is designed for high-performance dual-
processor workstation and server applications. Based on the Intel
NetBurst micro-
architecture and the new Hyper-Threading Technology, it is binary compatible with previous
Intel Architecture (IA-32) processors. The Intel Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache is
scalable to two processors in a multiprocessor system providing exceptional performance for
applications running on advanced operating systems such as Windows XP*, Windows* 2000,
Linux*, and UNIX*. The Intel Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache delivers compute power at
unparalleled value and flexibility for powerful workstations, internet infrastructure, and
departmental server applications. The Intel
NetBurst micro-architecture and Hyper-
Threading Technology deliver outstanding performance and headroom for peak internet server
workloads, resulting in faster response times, support for more users, and improved scalability.
Available at 1.80, 2, 2.20, 2.40, 2.60, 2.80, and
