The Intel Xeon processor 7400 series has integrated virtualization
hardware support with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT). Intel
VT works by hardware assisting your virtualization environment and,
in combination with powerful, reliable processor features, boost asset
utilization and IT flexibility while reducing overall operating costs.
You can now build one compatible group of platforms offering
maximum flexibility for live migration across all Intel Core microarchitecture-
based servers including 1-socket Intel® Xeon® processor 3000
sequence-, 2-socket Intel® Xeon processor 5000 sequence-, and the
scalable 4-socket Intel® Xeon® processor 7000 sequence-based servers.
The ability to conduct live VM migration offers tremendous flexibility
for fail-over, load-balancing, disaster-recovery, and real-time server
maintenance scenarios. And with Intel® VT FlexMigration, you have
the capability to add future Intel® Xeon® processor-based systems to
the same resource pool. This gives you the power to choose the right
server platform to best optimize performance, cost, power, and reliability.
These enhancements are further supplemented by additional
processor, chipset, and NIC features, including:
• Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), a network silicon technology
that off-loads the network I/O management burden from the hypervisor,
freeing processor cycles and improving overall system performance.
• Intel® VT FlexPriority, which optimizes virtualization software
efficiency by improving interrupt handling.
What is the 7000 Sequence?
At Intel, our processor series numbers are designed to help clarify
processor features, capabilities, and intended usages. Intel offers
four processor number sequences for server applications:
• Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 sequence
One-processor servers for small business, entry, or first server
based on the Intel Xeon processor.
• Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 sequence
Two-processor general-purpose, standard high-volume servers,
HPC systems, and workstations based on Intel Xeon processors.
SKU list
The Intel Xeon processor 7400 series is available in a range of features to match different computing demands. All processors integrate
Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel 64 architecture, and are available in the FC-mPGA8 packaging. Intel Virtualization Technology,
Intel FlexMigration, Intel FlexPriority, and Intel 64 architecture are standard on all SKUs. Higher frequency versions of the Intel Xeon processor
7400 series also support Demand-based Switching (DBS).
• Intel® Xeon® processor 7000 sequence
Greater performance and scalability with 4- to 32-processor enterprise
servers, with OEM systems supporting up to 16 processors at
launch. These processors are designed for virtualization and datademanding
enterprise applications.
• Intel® Itanium® processor 9000 sequence
Maximum scalability and RAS features for mission-critical workloads
with 2- to 512-processor servers based on the Intel Itanium processor.
