The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5000 series are designed for high-performance dual-processor
server and workstation applications. Based on the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture and Hyper-
Threading Technology (HT Technology), it is binary compatible with previous Intel Architecture
(IA-32) processors. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5000 series are scalable to two processors in
a multiprocessor system, providing exceptional performance for applications running on advanced
operating systems such as Windows* XP, Windows Server 2003, Linux*, and UNIX*.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5000 series deliver compute power at unparalleled value and
flexibility for powerful servers, internet infrastructure, and departmental server applications. The Intel
NetBurst micro-architecture, Intel Virtualization Technology and Hyper-Threading Technology deliver
outstanding performance and headroom for peak internet server workloads, resulting in faster
response times, support for more users, and improved scalability.
