• Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice.
• 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 http://www.intel.com/performance/server/index.htm
• Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third-party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect the performance of systems available for purchase.
• Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. Over time processor numbers will increment based on changes in clock speed, cache, FSB, or other features, and increments are not intended to represent proportional or quantitative increases in any particular feature. Current roadmap processor number progression is not necessarily representative of future roadmaps. See www.intel.com/products/processor for details.
• 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 upon request.
• Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain computer system software enabled for it. Functionality, performance, or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.
• 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult your system vendor for more information.
• All products, computer systems, dates, and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change without notice.

Legal Disclaimers for Slide 101 Eight-month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3.80 with 2-MB L2
cache and 2S Intel Xeon processor X5570 based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs, and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW 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 $6,900 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured SPECjbb2005* benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2009). Platform power was measured during the steady-state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 9x while the platform power was 0.8x.
– Baseline platform: Intel server platform with two 64-bit Intel Xeon processor 3.80-GHz with 2-MB L2 cache, 800 FSB, 8x1-GB DDR2-400 memory, 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows* Server 2003 Ent. SP1, BEA JRockit* build P27.4.0-Windows-x86_64 run with 2 JVM instances.
– New platform: Intel server platform with two quad-core Intel Xeon processor X5570, 2.93-GHz, 8-MB L3 cache, 6.4QPI, 12-GB memory (6x2-GB DDR3-1333), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Ent. SP1, BEA JRockit build P27.4.0-Windows-x86_64 run with 2 JVM instances.
