Intel's Latest Processors



INetU Managed Hosting now offers Intel® Core™ 2 Duo and Xeon Woodcrest Processor Technology in our managed dedicated server line. These new processors outperform the old Pentium D and Xeon Dempsey family processors in widespread use across the hosting industry. The Core™ 2 Duo and Xeon Woodcrest CPUs are at the heart of Intel's most advanced computing technologies.

Intel® Core™2 Duo processors feature Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, a revolutionary blueprint that takes these Intel® processors and products to extraordinary levels of performance and efficiency. Just as the Core 2 Duo processors are an upgrade from the Pentium D series, Intel's new Xeon Woodcrest processor class brings increased performance and efficiency over the Xeon Dempsey family.

Two main benefits to using the new processors are:



Advanced Smart Cache
The Advanced Smart Cache increases the processors efficiency. It ensures that each core can access data from the L2 cache, which reduces latency to frequently used data and increases overall performance. Since the CPU is using a shared caching system, data is stored more efficiently; all data has two plausible entry points.

1066MHz Front Side Bus
The 1066 MHz Front Side Bus allows for a more efficient transferring of data throughout the CPU. The larger Front Side Bus moves more information at a quicker speed.
