CONCLUSION
Servers are very complex machines, especially in the “big iron” class where multi-processor configurations are the
norm. The Intel Xeon processor E7 family is designed to support a multitude of shipping configurations and the
model numbering schema is attempting to clarify the wayness and feature choices that customers have. In the
current generation Intel Xeon
processor E7 family scalable
platform situation, the
performance throughput
increases at up to 94%
efficiency from 2- to 8-
sockets. However, in a two-
socket server configuration,
there is no appreciable
difference in performance
regardless of the processor
SKU chosen – Intel Xeon
processors E7-
8870/4870/2870 and others
shown in Table 1 above are
equivalent.
