We wanted to determine whether the adoption of the new Intel 45nm process technology could deliver additional benefits to our data center strategy: Improving virtualization performance while reducing power consumption. Intel IT is using server virtualization to substantially reduce costs associated with underutilized servers such as higher capital, support, maintenance,power and cooling. Watch this video for the recent testing parameters and results found by Rob Carpenter.
For the full details behind the tests and results, read the white paper 45nm Quad-Core Processors for Energy Efficiency
Let us know how you think the 45nm processors would benefit your data center strategy.
Additional white papers on testing we did on the 45nm processors:
Chip Design using 45nm Quad-Core Xeon Processors
Accelerating EDA Application Performance with 45nm Quad-Core Processors
To read the predecessor to the 45nm testing done on the 65nm quad-core, see Rob's blog with video white paper
