EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Just like many automobile manufacturers and other companies that have multiple
product lines within their product family, server processors have model numbers
to help distinguish the dif

White Paper Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 Family Performance processor SKU (70); which indicates same core frequency of 2.4 GHz, the same Intel® QuickPath Interconnect speed of 6.4 GT/s, the same last-level cache (LLC) of 30 MB, and the same number of cores at 10 per processor. So the only difference is in the first product family number represents wayness (2, 4, or 8) capability indicating that the Intel Xeon processor E7-4xxx and E7-8xxx models can scale natively beyond just 2-sockets

White Paper Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 Family Performance number of users (typically matches the number of logical threads seen by the Operating System, OS) simultaneously running a problem on a given server. The performance scaling is calculated by dividing the resulting score from the maximum number of processors populated in one server by the score of the server with n-way processors populated in another server configuration. So from 2- to 4- to 8-socket-based servers, the perfect sc
