7 Processors

7.1 Overview

The Intel Xeon processor 7500 series is designed specifically for high-end server applications. The
processor features up to eight-core processing to maximize performance and performance/watt for
data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments. The Intel Xeon processor 7500 series also
®
features Intel Core™ micro-architecture and Intel 64 architecture for flexibility in 64-bit and 32-bit
applications and operating
The Intel Xeon processor 7500 series uses a 1567-contact Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA) package
that plugs into a surface-mount socket (Socket-LS). The PowerEdge R910 provides support for up to
four processors.
Selective Intel Xeon processor 7500 series 4S SKUs also support Turbo Mode. Turbo Mode is an OS-
controlled operation that automatically allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency
if the CPU is operating below power, temperature, and current limits.
