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. For more complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit
www.intel.com/benchmarks
Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its
customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are
accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline
platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the
performance improvements reported.

Optimization Notice
Optimization Notice
Intel compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may include or utilize
options that optimize for instruction sets that are available in both Intel and non-Intel
microprocessors (for example SIMD instruction sets), but do not optimize equally for non-Intel
microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler options for Intel compilers, including some that
are not specific to Intel micro-architecture, are reserved for Intel microprocessors. For a
detailed description of Intel compiler options, including the instruction sets and specific
microprocessors they implicate, please refer to the Intel Compiler User and Reference Guides
under Compiler Options." Many library routines that are part of Intel compiler products are
more highly optimized for Intel microprocessors than for other microprocessors. While the
compilers and libraries in Intel compiler products offer optimizations for both Intel and Intelcompatible microprocessors, depending on the options you select, your code and other factors,
you likely will get extra performance on Intel microprocessors.
Intel compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may or may not optimize
to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel
microprocessors. These optimizations include Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel
SSE2), Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD
Extensions 3 (Intel SSSE3) instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee
the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not
manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for
use with Intel microprocessors.
While Intel believes our compilers and libraries are excellent choices to assist in obtaining the
best performance on Intel and non-Intel microprocessors, Intel recommends that you evaluate
other compilers and libraries to determine which best meet your requirements. We hope to win
your business by striving to offer the best performance of any compiler or library; please let us
know if you find we do not.

Industry Analysts:
Mission Critical is Migrating to Xeon
Vertical markets once dominated by UNIXcentric vendors - telcos and financial services are
good examplesincreasingly consist of
enthusiastic x86 shops.
Charles King, Pund-IT, Inc. March 30, 2010
Gartner Research
The Unix market has been, and will continue to be,
in decline during the rest of this decade, according
to our projections. The price points are high, when
compared to x86 systems, while the value
proposition gap between Unix and x86 systems will
continue to diminish.
George Weisss June 2010
Impact of the Next Generation x86 on the Server Market.
there will be continued consolidation and contraction

in the Unix server market, while the x86-based market
will continue to grow driven by factors that include
drives to reduce hardware and software costs; to
simplify management of workloads; to optimize
performance; and to improve system flexibility, such as
the ability to flexibly add capacity.
IDC, White Paper Sponsored by Intel, "Following Downturn, Platform
Migration Accelerates," Doc.#226744, Feb. 2011.
By bringing RAS features to the x86 architecture,

Intel has laid the groundwork for customers to move
away from RISC.
Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist for In-Stat March 30, 2010

considerations as type of application, size of workload, number of users, type of transaction, SLA response times, targeted utilization, level and estimation accuracy of
workload baseline/peak/growth, physical or managerial constraints, need to maintain a single state at all times to ensure all users see the same results at any given time,
cost to migrate to a scale-out alternative, and system availability requirements.

Server Refresh Benefits Claim Backup
Performance claims as of March 2011:

1. Consolidation:
Up to 18:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in about 14 months" claim estimated based on comparison between
4S MP Intel Xeon processor 7041 (dual-core with Intel HyperThreading Technology, 4M cache, 3.00GHz, 800MHz FSB, formerly code
named Paxville) and 4S Intel Xeon processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.4GT/s Intel QPI, formerly code named Westmere-EX)
based servers.
Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated
server costs. This assumes 42U racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license
cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $41,523 based on averaged estimated list prices, and estimated server utilization rates. All
dollar figures are approximate. Estimated SPECint*_rate_base2006 performance and power results are measured for Intel Xeon processor
E7-4870 and estimated for Intel Xeon processor 7041 dual-core based servers. Platform power was measured during the steady state
window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 18x for dual-core (truncated).
* Baseline dual-core platform (estimated score of 54.6; idle = 546W; active = 812W): Intel server with four Intel Xeon processor 7041
processors, 32GB memory (16x 2GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2
operating system, Intel Compiler 11.1 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries. Estimated result.
* New platform (estimated score of 1,000; idle = 552W; active = 1053W): Intel internal reference server with four Intel Xeon processor
E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel QPI), 256GB memory (64 x Samsung 4GB 2Rx8 PC3L-10600R), 1 hard drive, 3 power
supplies, using SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating system, Intel C++ and Fortran Composer XE2011 built SPECcpu* 2006 January
2011 binaries. Source: Intel SSG TR#1131.
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. For more information
on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, Go to:
http://www.intel.com/performance/resources/benchmark_limitations.htm.
Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual benchmark result
for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and assigning them a relative performance
number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
SPEC and SPECint are trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. See http://www.spec.org for more information.
All products, computer systems, dates, and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change without
notice.
Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across
different processor families. Go to: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number
Intel, processors, chipsets, and desktop boards may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate
from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Intel Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor
(VMM). Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Software applications may
not be compatible with all operating systems. Consult your PC manufacturer. For more information, visit
http://www.intel.com/go/virtualization
No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) requires a
computer system with Intel Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an
Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). Intel TXT also requires the system to contain a TPM v1.s. For more
information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/security
Requires a system with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Consult your PC manufacturer. Performance varies depending on hardware,
software and system configuration. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost
Intel AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI enabled processor, as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the
correct sequence. AES-NI is available on select Intel processors. For availability, consult your reseller or system manufacturer. For more
information, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-advanced-encryption-standard-instructions-aes-ni/

STREAM memory bandwidth increase primarily due to protocol change that enables pre-existing memory bandwidth to be FULLY measured by the STREAM workload conventions (STREAM
does not fully measure the memory BW of Xeon 7500). Actual WSM-EX bandwidth is nominally higher than Xeon 7500.
Low power memory buffer part is currently classified as a specialty part, and is not shown on the mainstream MMBP product roadmap.
