The Bottom Line
The IBM System x3620 M3 is an extremely energy efficient, powerful system, incorporating
significantly redesigned management tools and abundant IBM-unique innovations:
Price/Performance
• High-throughput processors — Up to two 2.66GHz 6-core or 2.13GHz to 2.53GHz 4-core
Xeon 5600 Series processors; or two 2.13GHz to 2.26GHz 4-core Xeon 5500 Series
processors
• Energy-efficient low-voltage processors — 40W 4-core and 60W 6-core Xeon 5600 Series
processors (via the CTO process)
• Hyper Threading Technology for up to 12 processor cores and 24 threads total (processor-
specific)
• Turbo Boost Technology for a performance boost when not all cores are in use (processor-
specific)
• 64-bit extensions (EM64T)
• Large cache — 12MB or 4MB of L3 processor cache (processor-specific)
• Fast memory — Registered PC3-10600 DDR III ECC DIMMs standard, operating at
1333MHz, 1066MHz or 800Mhz (depending on processor model and memory configuration);
supports 2 DIMMs per channel at 1333MHz (5600 Series only)
• Fast disk technology — Supports high-performance 6Gbps SAS drives that provide high
density/high reliability and allow you to scale up as your business grows.
