This state-of-the-art technology with smart performance plus built-in visuals delivers a visibly better PC experience. The 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family innovative features have set new standards for energy efficiency and performance when compared to previous generation Intel® Core™ processors. Now, not only enjoy a seamless experience while surfing the Web, editing, or sharing videos but also do it in record time. Enjoy the extra time on your hands.
Intel® Xeon® processor-based workstations are workload optimized platforms that help professional users transform rich data into actionable information faster than ever before. If you are doing simulation based design, digital prototyping, complex analytics, ray tracing, imaging, rendering or similar tasks, then a dual processor Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series based workstation is the ideal platform, capable of helping users rapidly create, test and modify their ideas. If, on the other hand, you are just doing CAD or simple design, then a workstation based on the new Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 product family with Intel® HD Graphics P3000 is your ideal choice. If you need to collaborate on the go, then a mobile workstation is the perfect fit for you.
Intel Xeon processor-based servers deliver cutting-edge performance across a variety of enterprise, mission critical, and small business applications. Discover how top-of-the-line, scalable servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800/4800/2800 product families can meet your most important needs in mission critical, cloud computing, and high-performance computing applications. Mainstream enterprise and technical compute customers can take advantage of the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, which delivers intelligent performance that automatically adapts to your workloads. Small business servers based on the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 product family deliver outstanding performance at a great value, enabling small businesses to manage their IT investments smarter.

² "Up to 18:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in about one year" claim estimated based on comparison between 4S MP Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 (dual-core with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT 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, 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 $36,000 based on 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 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 (truncated).
- Baseline platform (measured score of 54.6; idle = 546W; active = 812W): Intel server with four Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 processors, 16 GB memory (16x 2 GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2 operating system, Intel Compiler 11 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries.
- New platform (measured 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), 256 GB memory (64 x Samsung 4 GB 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.

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.
