Dell PowerEdge R720 User Manual

20 PowerEdge R720 and R720xd Technical Guide
4 Processors
Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720xd servers feature 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% 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 predecessor Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 series:
 With up to four additional cores, 10MB more cache and a 17% increase in memory speeds,
E5-2600 v2 processors may boost performance by up to 40% in PowerEdge server platforms
 Support for DDR3 1866MT/s memory provides faster connections throughout the system
 Up to 24 DIMM slots and support for up to 32GB DIMMs enable memory capacity of 768GB
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 PCI Express 3.0 provides up to 40 lanes per socket
 Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivers up to double the boost than 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 large-number calculations,
integral to many technical, financial and scientific computing problems.
