³ "Up to 18:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in about one year" claim estimated based on comparison between 4S MP Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 (dual-core with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology), 4M cache, 3.00GHz, 800MHz FSB, formerly code named Paxville) and 4S Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.4GT/s Intel® QPI, code named Westmere-EX) based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 42U 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 $36,000 based on estimated list prices, and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Estimated SPECint*_rate_base2006 performance and power results are measured for Intel Xeon processor E7-4870 and estimated for Intel Xeon processor 7041 based servers. Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 18x (truncated).
- Baseline platform (measured score of 54.6; idle = 546W; active = 812W): Intel server with four Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 processors, 16 GB memory (16x 2 GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2 operating system, Intel Compiler 11 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries.
- New platform (measured score of 1,000; idle = 552W; active = 1053W): Intel internal reference server with four Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.40GT/s Intel® QPI), 256 GB memory (64 x Samsung 4 GB 2Rx8 PC3L-10600R), 1 hard drive, 3 power supplies, using SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating system, Intel C++ and Fortran Composer XE2011 built SPECcpu* 2006 January 2011 binaries. Source: Intel SSG TR#1131.
4 Performance comparison using SPECfp*_rate_base2006 benchmark. Based on Intel internal measured estimates using an Intel® Rose City platform with two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2690, Turbo and EIST Enabled, with Hyper-Threading, 64 GB RAM, Red Hat* Enterprise Linux Server 6.1 beta for x86_6, Intel® Compiler 12.1.

δ Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
µ Intel® vPro™ technology is sophisticated and requires setup and activation. Availability of features and results will depend upon the setup and configuration of your hardware, software, and IT environment. To learn more, visit: www.intel.com/technology/vpro/index.htm.
