For enterprise computing, nothing less than four-way processor systems will do. And Intel is proud to announce the seventh-generation of MP processors, now featuring dual-core technology. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 sequence offers up to 60% projected performance increase over previous-generation single-core processors based on Intel initial preliminary testing, while delivering expandability and outstanding reliability for mid-tier enterprise applications. Each Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 sequence supports up to four tasks or software threads and can run both 64-bit and 32-bit applications. This makes an MP platform based on the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 sequence ideal for supporting multiple, simultaneous transactions, and for consolidating numerous operating systems, applications, and workloads onto a single server.
