588156-B21 - HP 2.66GHz 5.86GT/s QPI 18MB L3 Cache Socket LGA1567 Intel Xeon X7542 6-Core Processor Upgrade for ProLiant DL580 G7 Server

About HPE Xeon Processor X7542, Intel® Xeon® 7000 Sequence, LGA 1567 (Socket LS), 45 nm, X7542, 2.666 GHz, Server/workstation

HPE Xeon Processor X7542. Processor family: Intel® Xeon® 7000 Sequence, Processor socket: LGA 1567 (Socket LS), Processor lithography: 45 nm. Market segment: Server. Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT): VT-x

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don’t.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory and power overhead costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.
