Advanced reliability performance
Compares performance of a server-side Java* benchmark on two-sockets Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series and 2S Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series server platforms with advanced reliability features (x4/x8 SDDC, Lock-Step memory) enabled on both. For more information, see

. Server-side Java* internal workload shows an advantage in performance-and especially when Lock Step memory is enabled for access to enhanced reliability features.
- Intel® Xeon® processor X7560 delivers 87 percent better performance than Intel® Xeon® processor X5680 with advanced reliability features enabled (through Lock Step memory enabled in 5600 series-based server BIOS)
Advanced reliability and larger memory footprint available on the expandable (EX) 2S Intel® 7500 Chipset-based servers deliver enhanced reliability performance.
Configuration detail
Two-sockets (2S) performance comparison with advanced reliability features enabled
Intel® 5520 Chipset-based platforms typically leave Lock Step memory disabled in BIOS due to the performance impact. The customer must choose to enable in BIOS and determine if the performance cost is worth the advanced reliability benefit.
Comparison based on Intel internally measured server-side Java* workload results (TR#1098) as of 29 March 2010.
