The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300Δ series is the industry's first Intel® architecture quad-core processor series with extended lifecycle support. It doubles the compute density over previous Intel® dual-core processors, providing breakthrough performance and energy-efficiency for compute-intensive embedded, storage and communications platforms.

Based on 65nm technology, it combines the benefits of a quad-core processor with dual-processing capabilities, providing up to eight high-performance cores per platform.

Dual-processor platforms based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series provide high levels of computing for threaded applications delivering eight-thread, 32- and 64-bit processing capabilities with 8 MB of L2 cache per processor. Validated with the Intel® 5000P chipset and supported by fully buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) technology, the platform provides an excellent solution for intense computing and I/O-intensive workloads within high-end communications and enterprise systems such as rack-mount (1U/2U) and blade servers, as well as NAS and SAN systems and high-end medical imaging equipment.
