Intel Xeon E7: A new family of server processors.

Intel announces the launch of its new Intel Xeon processor for servers E7, consists of 18 new processors for servers in two, four and eight sockets, which can expand to up to 256 sockets servers. The new Intel Xeon E7 are based on manufacturing technology of 32 nanometers (nm), these new processors allow companies to manage large volumes of data, providing greater efficiency, new security features, reliability and performance.

Have up to 10 cores, allowing an ability to work even better than its predecessor, and features the Intel Hyper-Threading technology offers performance improvements of up to 40% on Intel Xeon processors 7500, as well as establishing a new benchmark software for more demanding applications including business intelligence, data analysis and real-time virtualization.

Record performance with great energy efficiency. Its new power-saving function reduces consumption of the chip sector are not being used at any given time. Manufacturers around the world have already announced they will begin to trade more than 35 systems based on Intel Xeon processor family E7 from today.

Present an improvement of up to 40% in intense computing environments can enhance the accuracy and speed of applications in fields such as scientific research and financial services. To improve up to 25% performance virtualization engine applications over the current generation processors, these new chips also allow the maximum performance available on virtualization sector.

They feature Intel Intelligent Power technology, which dynamically reduces the consumption of inactive areas of the chip depending on the workload, while introducing advanced energy management capabilities. IT managers looking to achieve greater economic efficiency may be replaced 18 dual-core servers with a single Xeon processor-based server E7.

To combat rising energy costs, the new Intel Xeon chips, aware of the importance and variety of the most intense applications, ranging from climate modeling to real-time analysis of business data, and the need for services without compromise to the height of such applications, offers 10 advanced versions of its 10-core chip, led by the E7-8870, E7 and E7-4870-2870.

They all reach a maximum frequency of 2.4 GHz with a TDP (Thermal Design Point or maximum thermal design) of 130 watts. The company has announced a version of the chip that combines the advantages of high performance, low voltage, and a version optimized for achieving greater frequency.

Thus, the E7-8867L, 10-core low voltage reaches 2.13 GHz with a TDP of 105 watts, while the E7-8837, 8 cores and optimized to achieve a higher frequency, reaches 2, 67 GHz with a TDP of 130 watts. Platforms based on Intel Xeon processor family E7 can have a huge amount of memory, up to 2 TB in four-socket systems, supported by new processors.

New security features and reliability. With the introduction of family-based platforms E7 Xeon processors, Intel moved its latest security technologies currently available in its family of Intel Xeon 5600, the market for mission-critical servers. Intel's new Advanced Encryption Standard New Instruction (AES-NI) allows systems to quickly encrypt and decrypt data in a wide variety of applications and transactions, while Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) creates a secure platform to protect during boot applications to malicious threats.

Broad support across the sector. From today's leading manufacturers around the world announced the sale of more than 35 platforms based on the Xeon processor family E7, among others are among these manufacturers are Bull, Cisco, Cray, Dawning, Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP , Huawei, IBM, Inspur, Lenovo, NEC, Oracle, PowerLeader, Quanta, SGI, Supermicro and Unisys.

In addition, numerous products softwarecorporativo providers are compatible with platforms based on the Xeon family processors E7, including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, SAP AG and VMware. Product details and price range. The Xeon family processors E7-8800/4800/2800 be sold with prices ranging from $ 774 up to $ 4,616 when purchased in lots of 1,000 units.

Models and features.
