Dell PowerEdge R730xd - 4 Processors; Processor Features

20 PowerEdge R730 and R730xd Technical Guide
4 Processors
The Dell PowerEdge R730 and R730xd feature the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family,
offering an ideal combination of performance, power efficiency, and cost. These processors provide
high performance no matter what your constraint is — floor space, power, or budget — and on
workloads that range from the most complicated scientific exploration to crucial web-serving and
infrastructure applications. In addition to providing raw performance gains, improved I/O is also
made possible with Intel Integrated I/O, which can reduce latency by adding more lanes and
doubling bandwidth. This helps to reduce network and storage bottlenecks, unleashing the
processor’s performance capabilities.
Processor features
The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family not only adds new features, but also
improves upon many features of the predecessor Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v2 product family,
including:
 Up to 18 execution cores per processor
 Each core supports two threads for up to 36 threads per processor
 46-bit physical addressing and 48-bit virtual addressing
 1GB large page support
 32kB instruction and 32kB data first-level cache (L1) for each core
 256kB shared instruction/data mid-level cache (L2) for each core
 Up to 35MB last level cache (LLC) shared among all cores: up to 2.5MB per core
 Two QPI links up to 9.6GT/s
 Four DMI2 lanes
 40 PCIe 3.0 links capable of 8.0GT/s
 Socket R, 2011-land FCLGA10 package
 No termination required for non-populated CPU (must populate CPU socket 1 first)
 Integrated 4-channel DDR4 memory controller (not all processors support 2133MT/s memory)
 64 byte cache line size
 Execute Disable Bit
 Support for CPU Turbo Mode
 Increases CPU frequency if operating below thermal, power, and current limits
 Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX)
 Intel 64 Technology
 Intel VT-x and VT-d Technology for virtualization support
 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology
 Demand-based switching for active CPU power management as well as support for ACPI
