Legal Disclaimer – Non PerformanceAll products, computer systems, dates, and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change without notice.

Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. Go to: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number

Intel, processors, chipsets, and desktop boards may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.

Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM). Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Consult your PC manufacturer. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/go/virtualization

No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel®

TXT) requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). Intel TXT also requires the system to contain a TPM v1.s. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/security

Requires a system with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology capability. Consult your PC manufacturer. Performance varies depending on hardware, software and system configuration. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost

Intel® AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI enabled processor, as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the correct sequence. AES-NI is available on select Intel® processors. For availability, consult your reseller or system manufacturer. For more information, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-advanced-encryption-standard-instructions-aes-ni/

Legal Disclaimers - Performance

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximateperformance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design orconfiguration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performanceof systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on theperformance of Intel products, Go to: http://www.intel.com/performance/resources/benchmark_limitations.htm.

Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in thisdocument. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performancebenchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systemsavailable for purchase.

Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actualbenchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, andassigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests,

such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change

to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating

your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

Optimization Notice

Optimization Notice

Intel® compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may include or utilize options that optimize for instruction sets that are available in both Intel® and non-Intel microprocessors (for example SIMD instruction sets), but do not optimize equally for non-Intel microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler options for Intel compilers, including some that are not specific to Intel micro-architecture, are reserved for Intel microprocessors. For a detailed description of Intel compiler options, including the instruction sets and specific microprocessors they implicate, please refer to the “Intel® Compiler User and Reference Guides”under “Compiler Options." Many library routines that are part of Intel® compiler products are more highly optimized for Intel microprocessors than for other microprocessors. While the compilers and libraries in Intel® compiler products offer optimizations for both Intel and Intel-compatible microprocessors, depending on the options you select, your code and other factors, you likely will get extra performance on Intel microprocessors.

Intel® compilers, associated libraries and associated development tools may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel®

SSE2), Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel® SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel® SSSE3) instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors.

While Intel believes our compilers and libraries are excellent choices to assist in obtaining the best performance on Intel® and non-Intel microprocessors, Intel recommends that you evaluate other compilers and libraries to determine which best meet your requirements. We hope to win your business by striving to offer the best performance of any compiler or library; please let us know if you find we do not.

• Google engineers and the University of Toronto worked together to study

real-world memory errors across hundreds of thousands of Google data

center servers.

• Among the results from the two-and-a-half year study:

– Memory errors are an order of magnitude more common than previously

thought.

– More than 8% of DIMMs were affected by correctable errors per year in

Google’s computing environment.

– Hard errors, the kind that cause system failure, account for a much higher

percentage of total errors than anticipated. The annual incidence of un-

correctable errors was 1.3% per machine and 0.22% per DIMM.

– Occurring errors in a DIMM memory device provide a strong indication of

future errors in the same component.

A Study Into Real-World Memory Errors Google research uncovers the benefits of hardened RAS features and capabilities

It’s impossible to prevent underlying cause of many kinds of memory errors which can bring a system down

Up to 18:1 server consolidation performance with return on investment in about 14 months" claim estimated based on comparisonbetween 4S MP Intel® Xeon® processor 7041 (dual-core with Intel® HyperThreading Technology, 4M cache, 3.00GHz, 800MHz FSB, formerly code named Paxville) and 4S Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 (30M cache, 2.40GHz, 6.4GT/s Intel® QPI, formerly code named Westmere-EX) based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs andestimated server costs. This assumes 42U racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $41,523 based on averaged estimated list prices, and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Estimated SPECint*_rate_base2006 performance and power results are measured for Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4870 and estimated for Intel Xeon processor 3.33GHz single-core / 7041 dual-core based servers. Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 29x for single-core and 18x for dual-core (truncated).* Baseline single-core platform (measured score of 34.1; idle = 480W; active = 780W): Intel server with four MP Intel® Xeon®

processor 3.33GHz processors, 16GB memory (8x 2GB DDR2-400), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition R2 operating system, Intel Compiler 11 built SPECcpu* 2006 November 2009 binaries.
