13N0650 - IBM 3.20GHz 533MHz FSB 1MB Cache Intel Xeon Processor for BladeCenter HS20 (type 8832)

The Intel Xeon Processor MP is exclusively designed for 4-way and greater servers and provides significant productivity gains over previous IA-32 server platforms. The compatability of Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, Hyper-Threading Technology and Integrated Three Level Cache subsystems provide the performance and scalability required for demanding enterprise applications and strategic consolidation projects. The scalability of the Intel Xeon Processor MP allows businesses to derive optimal business value by investing in fully populated platforms. By taking advantage of the performance, flexibility and compatibility of the Intel Xeon Processor MP, businesses can closely match each blade-unique solution to specific application and business requirements. The result is a more cost-effective infrastructure and a standards-based computing environment that can adapt quickly to changing needs. In addition to the performance headroom and scalability features of the Intel Xeon Processor MP, and in addition to multiple-processor support, large cache and large memory support (up to 16GB support), MP-based blade servers offer further advantages over dual processor (DP) or clusters of DP-based servers.
