64-bit Intel Xeon Processor with 2 MB L2
Cache
Product Features
The 64-bit Intel Xeon processor with 2 MB L2 cache is designed for high-performance dual-processor
workstation and server applications. Based on the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture and the Hyper-Threading
Technology, it is binary compatible with previous Intel Architecture (IA-32) processors. The 64-bit Intel Xeon
processor with 2 MB 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 Server*
2003, Linux*, and UNIX*.
The 64-bit Intel Xeon processor with 2 MB 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.
