Processor ConfigurationsSingle CPU ConfigurationThe PowerEdge R710 is designed such that a single processor placed in the CPU1 socket will functionnormally, however PowerEdge R710 systems require a CPU blank in the CPU2 socket for thermal reasons.The system will be held in reset if a single processor is placed in the CPU2 socket.Performance EnhancementsIntel Xeon ® 5500 Series Processor (Nehalem-EP)Intel ® Turbo BoostTechnologyIncreases performance by increasing processorfrequency and enabling faster speeds whenconditions allowHigher performanceon demandAll coresoperateat ratedfrequencyNormalCore 1Core 1Core 2Core 3All coresoperateat higherfrequency4C TurboCore 0Core 1Core 2Core 3Fewer coresmay operateat even higherfrequencies<4C TurboCore 0Core 1FrequencyIntel ® Hyper-ThreadingTechnologyIncreases performance for threading applicationsdelivering greater throughput and responsivenessHigher performancefor threaded workloadsIntel ® Turbo Boost TechnologyImproves application responsivenessDelivers higher processor frequency on demandCores / Threads2(2 socket/HT on)Core0IDLEIDLEIDLECore0IDLEIDLEIDLEup to 10%for 2 softwarethreadsBenefitup to 6%†for 16 concurrentsoftware threads16(2 socket/HT on)BASE FreqTURBO Freq2.93 GHz3.33 GHz2.93 GHz3.20 GHzCore0Core2Core1Core3Core0Core2Core1Core3OR
