Server Consolidation White Papers
Quad-Core Processors Bring Higher Performance and Lower Cost to Mainstream Computing
Overview
This in-depth study shows how Intel has created a market-leading processor family built on quad-core technology with a first-to-market advantage. Leading hardware and software vendors have expressed and exhibited full support. Early tests by a significant cross section of end users have proven the value and efficacy of the architecture. Intel has provided a foundation of software tools and industry training to accelerate industry readiness and adoption. Most server applications can already leverage the key quad-core attributes, and server virtualisation software with hardware assist makes application consolidation a key usage model.
The value proposition for Intel quad core processor based systems is clear. They outperform existing systems in all three major areas: compute performance, price performance, and performance per watt. As one of the HPC users commented, "Moving from dual core to quad core is a no-brainer." And the move from single core to quad core is even more compelling.
