QUAD-CORE AND DUAL-CORE SERVER PROCESSORS

Intel® quad-core and dual-core processors are designed to bring powerful performance to servers by using multiple threads that provide additional headroom for running multiple applications simultaneously. At the same time, they are designed to provide the energy efficiency required to meet today's density, cooling, and operational cost challenges without compromise to performance.
BETTER IMPLEMENTATION:
Quad-core processing provides the maximum in performance and performance per watt. Servers featuring Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3000, 5100, and 7100 series and now the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series have brought speed, versatility, and efficiency to the data center for more than 20 years—and will continue to set the pace in the future.
COMPLETE SOLUTION VALUE:
Intel is working with thousands of hardware and software vendors to deliver the broadest choice of business solutions optimized for Intel quad-core and dual-core processor-based servers. Optimized software is particularly critical, and Intel has more than a decade of experience in optimizing code for multithreaded throughput. During this time, Intel has established the tools, resources, expertise, and relationships needed to drive increasing thread-optimization across the full range of business applications.
