Processor; Processor Features - Dell PowerEdge C6220 II Technical Manual

3 Processor

The Dell PowerEdge C6220 II server features the exceptional performance, value and power
efficiency of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family. With up to 12 cores and
30MB cache, E5-2600 v2 processors have the capacity to deliver performance gains of up to
40 percent over previous-generation E5-2600 processors. No matter your constraint — floor
space, power or budget — E5-2600 v2 processors can help you achieve more computational
horsepower, in the same footprint, with better security and power efficiency.

Processor features

The Intel Xeon processor E5 2600 v2 product family has powerful new features and improves upon
many of the capabilities of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 series:

With up to four additional cores, 10MB more cache and a 17 percent increase in memory speeds,
E5-2600 v2 processors may boost performance by up to 40 percent in Dell PowerEdge server
platforms.

Support for DDR3 1866MT/s memory provides faster connections throughout the system.

Up to 16 DIMM slots enable memory capacity of 512GB. Dell's exclusive Fault Resilient Memory
technology provides a protected memory zone for a hypervisor without consuming half of the
total RAM in the system.

In combination with Fault Resilient Memory, E5-2600 v2 processors offer Failsafe Virtualization
for unsurpassed industry protection for virtual machines.

Intel Secure Key and Intel OS Guard deliver faster and more secure encryption.

Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller virtualization (APICv) improves virtualization
performance by reducing virtual machine (VM) exits, thereby reducing overhead required to
service every APIC interrupt.

Intel Integrated PCIe 3.0 provides up to 40 lanes per socket.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivers up to double the boost of the previous generation
turbo technology.

Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) allows I/O traffic to skip the main system memory and be directed
straight to the processor cache, which can provide a significant reduction in latency as well as
allowing memory to remain in a low-power state.

Intel Advanced Vector Extensions offer up to double the floating point operations per clock
cycle by doubling the length of registers, which can be useful in the large-number calculations
that are integral to many technical, financial and scientific computing problems.
