Intel Xeon W3530 Bloomfield 2.8 GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W BX80601W3530 Server Processor

The Intel Xeon processor 3500 series delivers intelligent performance, automated energy efficiency, professional visualization and reliability for single-processor workstations to handle the ever-changing demands of a virtualized and consolidated computing environment. With advanced features like ECC memory supporting, direct cache access (DCA) and Intel Turbo Boost Technology, the Intel Xeon processor 3500 series is ideal for all basic workstation applications including engineering, architecture, animation, and analysis.

• ECC Memory SupportWith the integrated DDR3 memory controller, the Intel Xeon W3530 processor enables three channels of ECC DDR3 memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth.
• Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)Increasing manageability, security, and flexibility in IT environments, virtualization technologies like hardware-assisted Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) combined with software-based virtualization solutions provide maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or PC. By abstracting the software away from the underlying hardware, a world of new usage models opens up that reduce costs, increase management efficiency, strengthen security, while making your computing infrastructure more resilient in the event of a disaster.
• Intel Turbo Boost TechnologyIntel Turbo Boost technology automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it’s operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits, maximizing speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.
• Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)Intel Hyper-Threading Technology delivers thread-level parallelism on each processor resulting in more efficient use of processor resources—higher processing throughput—and improved performance on the multi-threaded software of today and tomorrow.
• Intel 64Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.
• Execute Disable Bit (EDB)Intel’s Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
