The Intel Xeon Processor MP is exclusively designed for 4-way and greater blade servers and provides significant productivity gains over previous IA-32 server platforms. The combination of Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, Hyper-Threading Technology and Integrated Three Level Cache Subsystems provide the performance and scalability required for demanding enterprise applications and strategic consolidation projects. The scalability of Intel Xeon processor MP-based blade servers allow businesses to derive optimal business value by investing in fully populated servers. By taking advantage of the performance, flexibility and compatability of Intel Xeon Processors MP, businesses can closely match each blade server solution to specific application and business requirements. The result is a more cost-effective infrastructure and a standards-based computing environment that can adapt quickly to changing needs. In addition to the performance headroom and scalability features of the MP-based blade servers, and in addition to multiple-processor support, large cache, and large memory support (up to 64GB support), MP-based blade servers offer further advantages over dual-processor (DP) or clusters of DP- based blade servers.
