High-End x86 On Nehalem Xeon EX 7500 and Dell R810

 

All-Star Xeons performance-based architecture, Nehalem and Westmere had a dark side to Intel: it takes a long shadow over the top of the line Intel Xeon processors from the 7400th You can talk about RAS features you want, but when configuring a dual-processor quad-core processor over the configuration of the top-of-the-line CPU you something is wrong. And if that happens in applications that aim at something is very wrong. SAP(the same as Dell Latitude D620 Battery), OLTP and other high-end server load is a burden that will cause more expensive Xeon processors rather than the "popular" Xeon.
Worse still, the six major AMD 8000 series offers better performance than X7460 Intel Xeon by a large margin, as a few months ago. TWELVE Quad processor servers will appear in stores in a few tier OEMs at a time, so that the new Intel Xeon EX is a great challenge.
Intel Xeon stresses that the X7500 Series game to a higher league competition in Austin. Send it to overcome X7560 chip RISC. This is not a bad strategy and RISC server customers used to paying much more for servers. For example, a single IBM(Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad X40 battery) Power 7 startsat Configuration $ 34,000. Intel has created the octal-core 16-giant tree Nehalem architecture based on the success. To match the other monsters RISC CPU is also a huge L3 cache (24MB) and a bucket load of RAS features.

At the lowest level of the target market for high-end servers, a market traditionally done well on x86(as Apple A1175 battery), Intel is going to take a strong application. The latest 2.2GHz AMD midnight key 6174 is equipped with a price tag of $ 1165, regardless of whether the server has two or four times. Intel is expected, however, manufacturers cough server at $ 3,692 for the 2.26GHz X7460. It is clear that both players are targeting a different market.
AMD is going to cost HPC market knowledge for virtualization, offers the best price / performance and performance per watt. Intel does not intend to compete on price / performance. It targets high-end market, where the cost of software licenses are more important than equipment where downtime is so expensive that people are willing to pay a higher price for the additional features of reliability and / or action is required is extremely high .
Intel's goal is to provide better performance than RISC vendors RAS similar functions at a lower price. Up to 64 cores (8x8) and 128 threads and 512GB of RAM you can find a machine Xeon 7500 series, so scalability should be impressive. For those who need RAS features, but does not need high-performance Intel Xeon processor series offers 6000th In this article, take a closer look at one of the most attractive Xeon 7500/6500, R810 Dell(Dell Vostro 1400 battery).
