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.
Halogen-free: Applies only to halogenated flame retardants and PVC in components. Halogens are below 900 PPM
bromine and 900 PPM chlorine.

The Cost of Waiting in 2010

per month
per month
per month
$100,000
per month
Refresh: If Not NOW, When?
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:

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. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit http://www.intel.com/performance/resources/limits.htm.

– Intel ® 5500 or 5520 chipset (C2 stepping)
– Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
– Enabled platform BIOS

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.
