Intel HPC Range

6 core technology for up to a 50% increase over previous generation CPUs

With the addition of the new Intel® Xeon® processors series, the Viglen line of HPC Intel servers now feature an Intel® Core™ microarchitecture built on the company's latest 32nm process technology. The new microarchitecture features two more compute cores per socket (from 4 core to 6 core) while maintaining the same thermal footprint. Compared to the Intel® Xeon® processor 5550 series released last year, these new Intel® Xeon® processors add 50% more compute power but keep power and energy consumption levels flat.

GPU Ready Applications
GPU acceleration in HPC is at an exciting tipping point.

For the first time applications are appearing as ‘GPU ready’, meaning you can now harness the performance NVIDIA Tesla GPUs without the need for any extra lengthy manual programming.
