Intel® Xeon® Processor 7000 Sequence

Intel® server processors are the ideal platform for virtualization and data-intensive business applications. Powering a range of multi-core, 64-bit servers¹, Intel server processors enable you to optimize computing environments and maximize server utilization, while providing you with headroom for growth

  • Extending today's lead in virtualization performance with built-in hardware assisted features and breakthrough gains in performance and energy efficiency²
  • Built for data-demanding enterprise applications with up to 6 cores and a large shared 16MB L3 cache per processor, enabling more transactions per server
  • More headroom, improved reliability, and the highest scalability available for large scale server consolidation and business-critical virtualization
The Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series, offers the industry's highest virtualization performance so you can do more with less. With key platform innovations built-in, the Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series offers more headroom, reliability, and the highest expandability for large-scale server consolidation.

Best-in-class performance

With enhanced 45nm Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the new Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series is best-in-class for demanding enterprise workloads with almost 50% better performance in some cases and up to 10% reduction in platform power compared to previous generation expandable servers.◊¹ Designed and optimized for IT, these 6-core processors provide industry-leading multi-core processing and greater computing performance without increasing footprint and power demands.

With 16MB shared L3 cache, scalability beyond four sockets, 1066 million transfers per second (MT/s), and support for up to 256GB of RAM, the Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series is the ideal choice for your data-intensive, business-critical performance requirements.
