Intel Xeon E5420 SLBBL 2.50GHz Processor

Intel Xeon E5420 SLBBL 12M Cache 2.50 GHz 1333 MHz FSB Processor. The breakthrough performance, energy efficiency, and reliability of Intel Xeon processor-based server systems make them the ideal choice for all of your data demanding or standard enterprise infrastructure applications. Intel processor-based servers enable businesses worldwide to do more and spend less with outstanding price/performance and broad 64-bit choice across OEMs, operating systems, and applications.

Quad-core Processing with 12MB L2 Cache
The Intel Xeon E5420 processor features four complete processor cores in one physical package. Significant performance headroom, especially for multi-threaded applications, helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness. Its 12MB (2 x 6MB) L2 cache increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-processor data transfer, maximizes main memory to processor bandwidth and reduces latency.

Supports Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)
With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple “virtual” platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Enhances next-generation IA-32 platforms with 64-bit addressability and related instructions, allowing flexibility for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.

Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features, EIST may provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving power when you don’t.
