This paper provides guidelines about Intel Xeon processor. The Intel Xeon processor family provides the processing power and versatility required for front-end servers and small-business (SMB) servers as well as for High-Performance Computing (HPC). The latest Intel Xeon processors significantly improve the compute power and the response time for the Internet applications, mail servers, small databases, and technical computing applications. These processors, coupled with large integrated cache, feature the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture and Hyper-Threading Technology to further improve processor response and reaction times, enabling support for greater numbers of simultaneous users and transactions.
