Deployable through a simple BIOS update, the support of Intel Xeon processor E5-1600 V2 & 2600 V2 product families delivers the benefits of the 22nm tri-gate process technology to the high end server industry. Those benefits include, among others, higher frequencies, higher core counts & larger last-level caches, but especially a much more varied mix of core/frequencies with notably the introduction of a dual socket workstation segment. This die shrink also allows for overall energy efficiency increase, with up to 30% average decrease in idle power consumption.
