The Intel Xeon E5: The Ultimate Processor for High Performance Computing The Intel Xeon E5 is the latest generation of processors designed for high performance computing (HPC) applications. With up to 2.1 times more performance in raw FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second) as measured by Linpack*, this processor is a game-changer for HPC workloads. Unmatched Performance for Real-HPC Workloads Compared to the previous generation of Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, the Intel Xeon E5 delivers up to 70 percent more performance for real-HPC workloads. This means faster simulations, data analysis, and other HPC tasks, allowing you to get more done in less time. Powerful and Efficient The Intel Xeon E5 is not only powerful, but also highly efficient. With advanced features such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, this processor can dynamically adjust its performance to meet the demands of your HPC applications, while also reducing power consumption.
