The Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600/5500 Family with the Intel® 5520 Chipset can be used in single- or dual-socket configurations and are based on 32-nanometer (5600 series) and 45-nanometer (5500 series) process technology. This platform provides the performance, memory, I/O capabilities, and thermal profiles ideal for compute-intensive communications applications. Intel® QuickPath Technology delivers bandwidth improvement for data-intensive applications. Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI)provides faster, more efficient cryptographic performance (5600 series only). Integrated power gates allow reduction to idling cores at near-zero power. Felexible virtualization includes hardware-assisted virtualization support in processors and Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) in chipsets.
