Processor

Westmere-EP processor is a Six-core processor, based on 32 nm process technology first
implementation of the Intel Nehalem ™ Micro architecture. The processor family features a
range of thermal design power (TDP) envelopes from 40W TDP up to 130W TDP. The processor
features two Intel QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point links capable of up to 6.4GT/S, 12MB
of shared Last Level cache (L3), and an Integrated Memory Controller (IMC). The processor
support all the existing Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2), Streaming SIMD Extensions 3
(SSE3) and Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4). The processor supports several Advanced
Technologies: Execute Disable Bit, Intel 64 Technology, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology,
Intel Virtualization Technology, and Simultaneous Multi Threading (SMT).
