Intel Xeon X3430 processor 2.4 GHz 8 MB Smart Cache Box

The Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 series-based platforms unleash the computing power of Intel® Xeon® processors. Based on the next-generation Intel® microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem, these processors provide your business with exceptional performance and power efficiency at a very affordable cost.

The Intel Xeon 3000 processor-based servers protect critical business information and offer the performance and headroom to make employees and businesses more productive, making them ideal for small and medium business owners looking for ways to support rapid business growth on small technology budgets.

Designed for needs of entry-level servers, the Intel® Xeon® processor 3400 series adapts to application behavior by automatically adjusting processing power to deliver maximum performance, protecting valuable assets from data corruption and loss, improving productivity with business growth.

DDR3 memory support up to 1333 MHz
- Supports up to thirty-two GB dual-channel DDR3 Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory which checks and corrects system memory errors.
- Flexible memory configuration options with support for up to four non-ECC or ECC unregistered DIMMs or up to six ECC Registered DIMMs.

Integrated PCI-Express 2.0 I/O
- Integrated serial I/O technology provides a direct connection between the processor and PCI Express component/adapters with bandwidth up to 8 GB/s on PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface;
- The PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface can be bifurcated to either two x8 PCI Express or four x4 PCI-Express interfaces for maximum design flexibility.

PCI-Express offers higher bandwidth, lower latency, and fewer I/O bottlenecks than PCI and PCI-X.

Intelligent next-generation Intel® microarchitecture adapts to the workload, automatically increasing processor frequency for greater performance.

Better performance enabled by Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, increasing processor frequency and enabling faster speeds when conditions allow

Lower energy costs while minimizing impact to performance by automatically putting processor and memory into the lowest available power state.

Power to the individual processor cores is reduced to near-zero power, independent of other operating cores.

A suite of virtualization-specific hardware enhancements to Intel® processors, chipsets, and I/O devices to increase application reliability, security and overall system performance

Enhancements to Intel Virtualization Technology performance that further speeds up virtual machine transition (entry/exit) times. Supports hardware assist for I/O virtualization using Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d).

Flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
