IBM Xeon

The Intel Xeon Processor with 533 MHz System Bus is based on the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture, which operates at significantly higher clock speeds and delivers performance levels that are significantly higher than previous generations of IA-32 processors. While based on the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture, it maintains the tradition of compatibility with IA-32 software. The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture features begin with innovative techniques that enhance processor execution such as Hyper Pipelined Technology, a Rapid Execution Engine, Advanced Dynamic Execution, enhanced Floating Point and Multimedia unit, and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). ??The Hyper Pipelined Technology doubles the pipeline depth in the processor, allowing the processor to reach much higher core frequencies. The Rapid Execution Engine allows the two integer ALUs in the processor to run at twice the core frequency, which allows many integer instructions to execute in one half of the internal co...
