Introduction
Intel's latest-generation microarchitecture represents the next step in unprecedented processor performance and dynamic
scalability. Designed from the ground up to take advantage of hafnium-based Intel® 45nm hi-k metal gate silicon
technology, Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem) unleashes parallel processing performance enabled by Intel® QuickPath
technology providing an integrated memory controller and high-speed interconnect per independent processing core.
Performance and Features
Maximum multitasking performance Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem) offers the latest in processor innovation, including:
Dynamic scalability, managed cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power for energy-efficient performance on
demand.
Design and performance scalability for servers, workstations, notebooks and desktops with support for 2-8+ cores and
up to 16+ threads with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology), and scalable cache sizes, system
interconnects, and integrated memory controllers.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology delivers additional performance automatically when needed by taking advantage of
the processor's power and thermal headroom. This enables increased performance of both multi-threaded and single-
threaded workloads.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology brings high-performance applications into mainstream computing with 1-16+
threads optimized for a new generation multi-core processor architecture.
Scalable shared memory of Intel® QuickPath technology features memory distributed to each processor with
integrated memory controllers and high-speed point-to-point interconnects to unleash the performance of future
versions of next-generation Intel® multi-core processors.
Multi-level shared cache improves performance and efficiency by reducing latency to frequently used data.
Turbo Boost Technology
This technology now built into Xeon 5500 processors will increase the speed of your processor on demand (from OS) if the
CPU is operating below power / thermal specifications:
Benefit of Turbo Boost (how much CPU speed up) depends on number of active cores
Likelihood of Turbo Boost operation increases when less cores are active
Likelihood of Turbo Boost operation increases when dynamic power mgt is enabled
