Intel Nehalem-Based Dual-Socket Xeon 5500 Processor
Intel Nehalem-Based Dual-Socket Xeon 5500 Processor: The dual-socket Xeon 5500 has Core i7 roots as the QuickPath Interface that talks directly to memory and peripherals. The memory controller is now built-in and can talk to three memory channels, improving bandwidth even as it drops lag.
The Xeon 5500 line’s bulk prices range from $188 for a 1.86GHz dual-core part up to $1,600 for a 3.2GHz quad-core example. Xeon 3500 models are currently limited to just three models between 2.66GHz and 3.2GHz, but their reduced tolerance for multiple sockets lets Intel drop the prices to $284 for the base CPU and $999 for the 3.2GHz version.
“The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series is the foundation for the next decade of innovation,” said Patrick Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group. “These chips showcase groundbreaking advances in performance, virtualization and workload management, which will create opportunities to solve the world’s most complex challenges and push the limits of science and technology.”
