• Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice.• Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate

performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations

• Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.

• Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.

• Intel, processors, chipsets, and desktop boards may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.

• Intel Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance or other virtualization technology benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.

• 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.

• Lead-free: 45nm product is manufactured on a lead-free process. Lead is below 1000 PPM per EU RoHS directive (2002/95/EC, Annex A). Some EU RoHS exemptions for lead may apply to other components used in the product package.

«Регулярные инвестиции в новую инфраструктуру, такие как обновление серверов, критически важны. В службе Intel IT, мы установили, что постоянное улучшение существующей у нас инфраструктуры действительно сокращает суммы, необходимые для поддержки наших систем и поэтому является для нас высокоприоритетной инвестицией.»

—Diane Bryant, CIO, Intel Corporation


“Разработайте программу регулярных изменений для

перехода на более энергоэффективное оборудование — в среднем с интервалом в три-пять лет — для управления растущими

затратами [энергии].”

“Детальный анализ возврата инвестиций (ROI) показал, что мы можем сократить затраты, обновляя все сервера старше четырех лет. Ранее мы использовали сервера значительно дольше с целью максимизации полезной отдачи от них.”

Eight Month ROI Claim – Back up• 8 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel®

Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5570 based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW 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 $6900 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured SPECjbb2005* benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2009). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 9x while the platform power was 0.8x.

– Baseline platform: Intel server platform with two 64-bit Intel Xeon Processor 3.80Ghz with 2M L2 Cache, 800 FSB, 8x1GB DDR2-400 memory, 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft* Windows* Server 2003 Ent. SP1, BEA* JRockit* build P27.4.0-windows-x86_64 run with 2 JVM instances

(2009) 2 Year, 5 Month ROI Claim – Back up• 2 year, 5 month (29 month) ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Dual

Core Intel® Xeon® 5160 (3.0GHz) and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5570 based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW 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 $6900 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured SPECjbb2005* benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2009). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 9x while the platform power was 0.8x.
