About IBM TS OPTION XE-3.0G 2X 512MB, Intel® Xeon®, 3.06 GHz, 0.512 MB, L2, 533 MHz, 10 - 35 °C

IBM TS OPTION XE-3.0G 2X 512MB. Processor family: Intel® Xeon®, Processor base frequency: 3.06 GHz, Processor cache: 0.512 MB

This 3.06GHz Intel Xeon processor with 533MHz front-side bus speed helps deliver increased processing power, throughput and headroom for peak performance to your application-intensive xSeries systems. It features the new Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, which helps increase overall throughput via a faster 533MHz system bus and enhanced 512KB Level 2 cache. It also features new Hyper-Threading technology which allows it to execute more than one thread per processor. This helps increase the throughput of your server applications and enables outstanding scalability for Internet infrastructure and mail servers. This processor is designed to provide performance headroom for unpredictable server workloads and escalating computing needs. Coupled with DDR memory, this processor delivers the processing power and headroom to help accommodate unexpected peaks in server workloads. These enhancements can add up to faster response times, support for more simultaneous users and increased transaction workloads.

Features & Benefits:
· NetBurst microarchitecture and Hyper-Threading technology provide enhanced performance, throughput and scalability for multiprocessing server applications on xSeries servers
· 533MHz system bus transfers information from the processor to the rest of the system at a rate up to four times faster than the 133MHz system bus used on Pentium III processors. Also, it provides increased bandwidth to route traffic on the front end of the Internet, preventing the bus from becoming a bottleneck.
· Targeted for middleware applications that power e-businesses and data centers
· Allows your IT to expand the number of processors on a system as the workload and number of users grows.
