3. Additional Configurations via OEM-specific scaling technologies (up to 256-sockets)
4. Comparison based on best published Intel Xeon processor E7 results in a 2-, 4-, and 8-socket configuration using the
SPECint*_rate_base2006 integer throughput benchmark that is often used as a proxy for general server application
performance.
