A new generation of processors provides clear benefits for moving up to 4-socket servers

With the recent release of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family, it's time to take a new look at 4-socket servers. This new Intel Xeon processor line provides up to 1.88x greater performance and an up to 52 percent four-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) estimated advantage compared to the 2-socket servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family. The performance gains provided by the Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 product family are even more dramatic when compared to the previous generation 2-socket Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, delivering up to 3.8x greater performance. Data centers looking for ways to improve performance, reduce costs, and make maximum use of floor space now have a clear and compelling choice for new server purchases and refreshes.
