Intel® Xeon® processor 3300 series-based servers: Optimized for small business, these value-priced processors with moderate DDR2 memory platform capacity make this ideal as a first, small business server. Benchmark description for SPECint*_rate_base2006: SPECint_rate_base2006 is a compute-intensive benchmark that measures the integer throughput performance of a computer system carrying out a number of parallel tasks. The benchmark consists of a suite of twelve integer workloads developed from actual end-user applications. System throughput is measured by running multiple copies of the benchmark simultaneously with the number of copies typically set to the number of logical hardware cores seen by the operating system. The performance score reported is a measure of the throughput of the system measured in jobs/hour. Higher score indicates better performance.

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations.

Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

SPECint*2006 and SPECfp*2006 benchmark tests reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory architecture and compiler of a computer system on compute-intensive, 32-bit applications. SPEC benchmark tests results for Intel® microprocessors are determined using particular, well-configured systems. These results may or may not reflect the relative performance of Intel® microprocessor in systems with different hardware or software designs or configurations (including compilers). Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks; to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering purchasing.

64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, OS, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel EM64T-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. Check with your vendor for more information.

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor series, not across different processor sequences. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.
