2 New Technologies
A number of new technologies have been incorporated into the PowerEdge R510 product, including:
• Intel 5500 chipset + Intel Xeon 5500 series processor (new Intel architecture)
• PCIe Generation 2
• DDR3 Memory Technology (Memory RAS feature—mirroring)
• iDRAC6 (Dell server remote management controller)
• Dell Management Console (provides a consolidated view of the IT environment)Virtualization (supports
various virtualization applications)
• SSD advantage (support of SSD drives)
2.1 Detailed Information
2.1.1 Intel Xeon 5500 Series Processors
Intel Xeon 5500 series processors are the latest generation Intel processors for two-socket servers. Based on
a new 45nm die technology, they use integrated memory controllers on the processor itself rather than a
separate memory controller. QuickPath interconnect technology, the speed of which varies with the processor
model, replaces the familiar front-side bus.
Figure 1. Intel Xeon 5500 Series Processors
Other Intel technologies used include:
• Intel Hyper-Threading, which enables more software threads to be running simultaneously.
• Intel Intelligent Power, which scales server power consumption to performance needs.
• Intel Turbo Boost, which boosts frequency for active cores by up to 400 MHz for during peak demand
periods.
