Intel Xeon W3690 Gulftown 3.46GHz (3.73GHz Turbo Boost) 12MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W BX80613W3690 Server Processor

Workstations powered by Intel Xeon processor 3600 series provide intelligent, scalable performance for a premium single-processor experience. Intel Xeon processor 3600 series supports greater memory bandwidth and professional-grade graphic adapters. Designed for more efficient workstation performance, these processors meet professional digital content creation, engineering, and financial market demands. Intel Xeon processor 3600 series also feature Intel Turbo Boost Technology, which adjusts performance automatically based on workload.

Upgrading to workstations powered by Intel Xeon processor 3600 series offers the dependability, performance, and headroom workstation users need to be more productive.

• 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. This maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.
• Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)Today’s Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT 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.
• Triple-channel ECC Memory SupportWith the integrated DDR3 memory controller, the Intel Xeon W3690 processor enables three channels of ECC DDR3 memory up to 1333MHz, resulting in up to 32 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Error Correction Code memory uses additional bits to check data integrity and help to improve the quality of memory functions.
• Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)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 Trusted Execution TechnologyIntel Trusted Execution Technology for safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that enhance the digital office platform with security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides hardware-based mechanisms that help protect against software-based attacks and protects the confidentiality and integrity of data stored or created on the client PC. It does this by enabling an environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system. These capabilities provide the protection mechanisms, rooted in hardware, that are necessary to provide trust in the application’s execution environment. In turn, this can help to protect vital data and processes from being compromised by malicious software running on the platform.
• 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.
