Performance Architecture
Intel Xeon Quad-core and Dual core Processors
64-bit Quad core and dual-core processors can provide increased performance in multi-tasking
environments and can enable increased performance for multi-threaded software applications.
Separate applications, or threads, split tasks across up to the two processor cores, meaning
instructions can run concurrently to help complete projects fast.
The Dell Precision R5400 features up to 8 high-performance Xeon cores providing up to 24MB
of cache memory and dual 1333MHz front side buses to deliver outstanding processing power
for CPU intensive applications performance.
