* Intel® Xeon® Processor 7000 Sequence

The Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series, based on the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, offers leading scalable performance and best-in-class virtualization for server consolidation.Experience up to 2x greater scalable performance¹ 2.5x greater virtualization performance², and 3x performance per watt³ than the industry-leading Intel Xeon processor in the same power envelope. These multi-core servers enable you to be more productive and reduce data center space, power and administration/operation costs by consolidating your data center onto fewer servers.80-watt Intel Xeon processors set new standards in energy efficiency. The E7340, E7330, E7320 processors provide 15 percent up to 47 percent decreases in power.◊ For ultradense deployments the 50-watt Intel Xeon processor L7345 provides 47 percent up to 67 percent decrease in power§ from Intel® 95- and 150-watt processors.Intel Xeon processor 7300 series product brief (PDF 763KB)Previous generation: Intel Xeon processor 7100 series product brief (PDF 763KB)Product informationCompare Intel Xeon processor featuresFlash demo: innovations in data traffic optimizationVideo white paper: quad-core is changing virtualized data centersView performance benchmarks ›Visual demoDiscover how Intel Xeon processor 7300 series offer innovations in data traffic optimizationWatch the technical Flash* demo ›Multi-core must-knowRead about a successful deployment by Intel's IT group › (PDF 288KB)IDC whitepaper on server virtualizationRead about the new requirements for virtualization products and what these products can do for your business › (PDF 196KB)Features and benefits – Intel Xeon processor 7300 seriesFeaturesBenefitsIntel® Xeon® processor 7300 seriesUp to 2x greater scalable performance¹, 2.5x greater virtualization performance², and 3x performance per watt³ compared to previous generationUp to 1.9x scalable performance improvement over two socket Intel Xeon processor 5300 series-based serversºDedicated High Speed Interconnects running at 1066 MHz, increasing the memory bandwidth by more than 2x over previous generation multiprocessor platformsº64MB Snoop Filter can significantly reduce data traffic on the Dedicated High Speed Interconnects, providing lower latencies and greater available bandwidthFully Buffered DIMM Technology, providing 4x memory capacity increase up to 256GB, and a memory speed increase of 1066 MT/secondºIntel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) with next generation improvements maximize the throughput of server data traffic and achieve faster, scalable, and more reliable I/O64-bit computing, supporting 32-bit applications and enabling migration to 64-bit computingSupporting systems up to 32 processors, 128 coresUp to 8 MB, shared, on-die, L2 cacheKeeps more needed data closer to the cores for access faster than off-chip memoryIntel® Core™ MicroarchitectureProvides more computing power and performance without increasing footprint and power demandsEnabling energy efficient processors at 130-, 80- and 50-watt for ultradense deploymentsIntel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)±Processor enhancements supporting virtualization, enabling consolidation of more applications to virtual environmentsEnables 64-bit OSs and applications to run with today's popular virtualization softwareEnables running Linux* over Windows* and Windows over Xen*Developed with virtualization software providers to enable greater capabilities compared to non-hardware-assisted virtual environmentsIntel® 64 architectureΦEnables extended memory addressability for server applicationsEnhanced reliability and manageabilityMany memory controller features, together with PCI Express RAS features combine for outstanding platform reliabilityFeatures include Error Correcting Code (ECC) system bus, new memory mirroring and I/O hot-plug
