The PowerEdge server support the Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family, offering an ideal combination of performance, power efficiency, and cost. These processors provide high performance even in limited floor space, consuming low power, optimal costs, and on workloads ranging from scientific exploration to web-serving and infrastructure applications. In addition to providing raw performance gains, improved I/O is also possible with Intel Integrated I/O, which reduces latency by adding more lanes and doubling the bandwidth.
Processor Features
The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family adds new features and improves upon many features of the predecessor Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 series, including:
