Scalability and performance
The x3550 M5 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:
?   Improves productivity by offering superior system performance with up to 18-core processors, up to
45 MB of L3 cache, and up to 9.6 GT/s QPI interconnect links.
?   Supports up to two processors, 36 cores, and 72 threads to maximize the concurrent execution of
multithreaded applications.
?   Intelligent and adaptive system performance with energy efficient Intel Turbo Boost Technology
allows CPU cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond
processor TDP.
?   Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling
simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
?   Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating
system vendors to better utilize the hardware for virtualization workloads.
?   Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (AVX 2.0) enable acceleration of enterprise-class workloads,
such as databases, enterprise resource planning, and others.
?   Up to 2133 MHz memory speeds with two DIMMs per channel running at 2133 MHz to help maximize
system performance.
?   Up to 1.5 TB of memory capacity with 64 GB Load Reduced DIMMS (LRDIMMs) (support for 64 GB
LRDIMMs is planned for a later date).
?   12 Gbps serial-attached SCSI (SAS) internal storage connectivity doubles the data transfer rate
compared to 6 Gb SAS solutions to maximize performance of storage I/O-intensive applications.
?   Flexible and scalable internal storage configurations for up to 24 TB of storage capacity in a dense 1U
rack form factor.
?   The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of or along with traditional spinning hard disk drives
(HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O
operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.
?   The server has four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports and optional 10 Gb Ethernet ports with
mezzanine LOM (ML2) adapters.
?   The server offers up to four PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 I/O expansion slots in a dense 1U rack form
factor.
?   With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon
processor E5 family. This helps to dramatically reduce I/O latency and increase overall system
performance.
