The ProLiant ML110 and DL120 G6 servers are single-processor platforms which means that the Xeon
3400 Series processors used in these servers do not support the QuickPath architecture found in the
Xeon 5500 Series processors. Otherwise, the Xeon 3400 processors support the same architecture
found in the Xeon 5500 processors, including distributed shared memory, Intel Hyper-Threading
technology, and Intel Turbo Boost technology with Intelligent Power technology. Table 1 shows the
ML110 G6 and DL120 G6 servers’ implementation of Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies
for the various processor frequencies. All processors in the 3400 Series family are quad core, have
8 MB L3 caches, and operate at 95W.

*“n” indicates the multiplier used to calculate the maximum potential frequency increment supported by Intel Turbo Boost
technology for each processor model and given number of active cores. This number (n) is multiplied by bus clock frequency
(BCLK) to get the actual frequency. The standard bus clock frequency is 133.33 MHz.
