Intel® Xeon® Overview
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5400 "Harpertown" Series
The Intel 5400 chipset improves data movement across Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5400 series-based workstations and HPC systems by increasing interconnect bandwidth, optimizing system bandwidth, increasing memory capacity, and improving network traffic processing while reducing I/O latency. These platform advancements help to match the improved performance of the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series and include a 1600 Mhz Front-Side Bus (20% faster), a 24 MB Snoop Filter to reduce traffic on the Front-Side Bus, and support for dual x16 PCIe gen 2 ports to support I/O-intensive applications.

Dual and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 7200/7300 CPUs for FusionXM
The new 45nm Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture significantly increases the transistor density over the previous 65nm technology which means more capability and up to 38% improvement in energy-efficient performance.
12 MB of L2 cache (50% larger) for greater performance across most workloads.
Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) technology which increases memory speed to 800 MHz and significantly improves data throughout.
24 MB snoop filter significantly reduces data traffic on the FSB, providing lower latencies and greater available bandwidth.
Intel introduces the Intel® Xeon® Dual-Core 7200 Series and Quad-Core 7300 Series processors in volume production for multiprocessor server platforms, enabling scalable performance and proven reliability for data demanding enterprise applications and server consolidation in virtualized environments.
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 CPUs for FusionX5, FusionX5 (WS), and FusionSA
Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core 5300 Series processors have 2.5x performance of the competition, and 1.5x performance of previous Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors 5100 series. Greater performance improves business agility and responsiveness for business applications.
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 5100 CPUs for FusionX5, FusionX5 (WS), and FusionSA
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series, Intel’s newest dual-core processor for dual processor (DP) servers and workstations delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing.
Dual and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 3000/3200 CPUs for FusionX5D
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3200 series can be used for building small, cost-effective High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters that create high-performance, personal supercomputing solutions or work-group clusters. The 3200 series are energy-efficient processors built for 1-way servers.
