The Intel® Xeon® processor E3 series, Intel's newest dual-core processor for single/uni-processor (UP) servers, delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing.

The Intel Xeon processor E3 series is ideal for first time small business server computing needs. Combined with the Intel S3000/S3200 chipset family and ECC DDR2 memory technology, the new Intel Xeon processor 3000/3200 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 3 times the performance and 3.5 times the performance/watt of previous-generation single-core Intel Xeon processors.

Platforms based on the Intel Xeon processor 3000 series make it simple for small businesses to get the reliability, availability and serviceability needed for server environments at an economical cost. All of this with the industry leading performance and performance per watt of the Intel Core microarchitecture.

Workstations built with the Intel® Xeon® processor 3400 series can meet your entry 3D content creation needs with their advanced quad-core performance, support for greater memory, and professional graphics capabilities over business desktops. Built–in security and manageability features help improve your productivity by minimizing IT disruptions¹.
