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.

The Cost of Waiting in 2010

1 Monthly Savings in utility and OS costs is determined by comparing the incremental costs associated with not refreshing 500 older single-core servers purchased back in 2005 vs. refreshing on a 15:1 ratio with new Xeon 5600 servers in Year 1. Warranty cost assumes $750/year per server if purchased after the initial OEM 3-year warranty period has expired. Actual costs are $50,877 (software), $18,641 (utility), and $31,250 (warranty), or >$100,000 total. Source: Xeon Server Refresh Savings Estimator. (www.intel.com/go/xeonestimator) using publicly available RHEL OS support costs and default utility settings.

Sell-up Opportunities with Xeon® 5600Xeon® E5640 (4C “Standard”) Xeon® X5650 (6C “Advanced”)

Pricing based on publicly available pricing for Xeon X5540 and Xeon 5550, 48GB memory (12x4GB) 1 146GB SAS Drive based DL 380 G6 at www.hp.com along with estimated Xeon 5600-EP cost adders. Utilizing public available pricing for Windows Standard Edition and VMware ESX software pricing as found in the Xeon® Server Refresh Savings Estimator. Performance source: Intel internal measurements on SPECint*_rate_base2006 as of February 2010. See backup for details.Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported. 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.

Intel® TXT Platform Requirements

• Intel® TXT requires ALL of the following components:– Intel® Xeon® 5600 Series Processor– Intel ® 5500 or 5520 chipset (C2 stepping)– Trusted Platform Module (TPM)– Enabled platform BIOS– Enabled Hypervisor or Operating System

• A platform without any of these components will boot normally, but without Intel® TXT trusted launch support

Back


Intel® TXT Ecosystem and Enabling• OEM Platforms: Intel expects a number of leading OEMs and

Intel’s EPSD to deliver TXT-capable platforms in 2010– Unlikely that OEM platforms will have full TXT capability at Intel®

Xeon® 5500 processor launch– Intel will support several OEMs announcing platforms that will be

“TXT Ready” with all required platform HW components at launch, with a TXT-enabled BIOS upgrade post-launch

• Software: Ecosystem enablement spread through 2010-2011– Pending completion of enablement activity on qual platforms and

OEM system validation– Two Hypervisor vendors targeting Q3/Q4’10 releases supporting

TXT, with 2+ additional Hypervisor / OS vendors pending 1H’11

5 Month Single Core Refresh ROI Claim – Back Up

• 5 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel® Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5680 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 $7200 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured server side java benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2010). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x.

– 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, Oracle* JRockit* build P27.4.0-windows-x86_64 run with 2 JVM instances

– New platform: Intel server platform with two Intel® Xeon® Processor X5680 (12M Cache, 3.33 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI), 24 GB memory (6x4GB DDR3-1333), 1 SATA 10krpm 150GB hard drive, 1 800w power supply, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 64 bit SP2, Oracle* JRockit* build P28.0.0-29 run with 4 JVM instances

• 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.
