Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4800 product family
These top-of-the-line processors deliver performance that is ideal for your most data-demanding workloads with improved scalability, and increased memory and I/O capacity, allowing you to handily adapt to changes in short-term business demands, and address requirements for longer-term business growth.
Socket scaling
2- to 4-Socket performance scaling
Consider using fewer servers to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) with fewer license costs, lower maintenance and cooling, plus smaller datacenter footprint. All driven by the better performance of the next generation Intel® Xeon® processor E7 platforms.
Benchmark description for 2- to 4-socket performance scaling
