10-- Intel® Xeon® Processor 7000 Sequence

The Intel® Xeon® processor 7300 series, based on the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, offers leading scalable performance and best-in-class virtualization for server consolidation.Experience up to 2x greater scalable performance¹ 2.5x greater virtualization performance², and 3x performance per watt³ than the industry-leading Intel Xeon processor in the same power envelope. These multi-core servers enable you to be more productive and reduce data center space, power and administration/operation costs by consolidating your data center onto fewer servers.80-watt Intel Xeon processors set new standards in energy efficiency. The E7340, E7330, E7320 processors provide 15 percent up to 47 percent decreases in power.◊ For ultradense deployments the 50-watt Intel Xeon processor L7345 provides 47 percent up to 67 percent decrease in power§ from Intel® 95- and 150-watt processors.Intel Xeon processor 7300 series product brief (PDF 763KB)Previous generation: Intel Xeon processor 7100 series product brief (PDF 763KB)
