Intel’s quad-core Intel Xeon processor 3200 series for servers delivers new levels of energy-efficient performance. The quad-core Intel Xeon processor 3200 series
is based on Intel Core microarchitecture and delivers industry leading performance over previous generations of Intel processors. This state-of-the-art, multi-core optimized microarchitecture delivers a number of innovative features that are setting new standards for energy-efficient performance.

Quad-core processing
Significant performance headroom, especially for multi-threaded applications,
helps boost system utilization through virtualization and application responsiveness.

Intel Core microarchitecture
Delivers better performance on multiple application types and user environments
at a substantially reduced power envelope.

105 W TDP
Significantly lower power (compared to previous generation) helps improve data
center density and power/thermal operating costs.

8 MB shared L2 cache
Increases efficiency of L2 cache-to-processor data transfers, maximizing main
memory to processor bandwidth and reducing latency.

1066 MHz system bus
Faster system bus speeds than previous generations for increased throughput.

Intel Virtualization Technology
Processor hardware enhancements that support software-based virtualization,
enabling migration of more environments -- including 64-bit OSs and applications
-- to virtual environments.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology (EIST)
Helps reduce average system power consumption and potentially improves
system acoustics.
