Improvements in Performance for Communications, Storage, Embedded and Medical Imaging Applications

Currently used by Intel customers in the server and workstation market segments, Woodcrest is also ideal for intense computing and I/O workload environments, and high-end systems such as singleheight (1U) servers and blade servers, storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) solutions, wireless and voice applications, and high-end medical imaging equipment.

The 2.33 GHz dual-core Woodcrest processor will soon be supported by Intel for an extended lifecycle of five to seven years, protecting system investment for communications, storage, embedded and medical imaging customers by enabling extended product availability.

The following benchmarks were completed by the Communications Infrastructure Group (CIG) of Intel in April 2006. These benchmarks compare the performance of two dual-core Woodcrest processors at 2.33 GHz in a dual-processing configuration (four cores per system) with two single-core Intel Xeon processors 2.8 GHz in a dual-processing configuration (two cores per system). Both processors would typically be used in applications of Intel’s communications, storage and embedded customers.
