Intel® Workstation Processors


Mega-task and get more done faster. Workstations based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series deliver next-generation intelligent performance features, such as Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, that scale performance to meet your most daunting workstation tasks. Design, model, create, and visualize faster on innovation platforms powered by Intel® processor technology.


Designed specifically for the next generation of intelligent workstations, the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series with intelligent performance combines high-performance computing (HPC) and workstation features into a single powerful innovation platform, enabling advanced workflow, and digital prototyping.

With expert workbenches, users can:

  • Create virtual wind tunnels
  • Simulate virtual drop test
  • Virtually test for manufacturability and assembly
  • Virtually test ideas with customers with photo-realistic digital mockups

Boost performance by up to 15 times over single-core serversς ‡ with processors that intelligently adapt to your workload.

Dynamically and automatically maximizes server application performance by increasing core frequencies, enabling faster speeds for specific threads, and mega-tasking workloads.

Scalable shared memory architecture with high-speed, point-to-point processor interconnects, plus larger caches and larger memory for two-processor servers.

Up to 18 DIMM slots with up to 288 GB of main memory for higher performance for your data intensive applications.

Inclusive shared L3 cache increases application performance by reducing traffic to the processor cores.

Moves data more efficiently through Intel® Xeon® processor-based workstations and server platforms for fast, scalable, and reliable network performance.

Delivers robust encryption without needing additional appliances or increased performance overhead, improving CPU performance for encryption.


Achieve similar performance as an Intel® Xeon® processor X5570 but with up to 30% lower powerλ using servers based on next-generation 32nm process technology.

Allow idling cores to be reduced to near-zero power, independent of other cores, reducing server idle power consumption.

Automatically put processor, memory, and I/O controller into the lowest available power states that will meet the current workload while minimizing performance impact.

Combine servers from multiple generations into the same virtualized server pool to extend failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capability.

  • Enables more operating systems and software to run in today’s virtual environments.
  • Developed with virtualization software providers to enable greater functionality and compatibility compared to non-hardware-assisted virtual environments.
  • Get the performance and headroom to improve the average virtualization performance over previous generations of two-processor servers.
Provides enhanced virtualization security through hardware-based resistance to malicious software attacks at launch
