intel/xeon
The Intel Xeon is a brand of high-performance, desktop, x86 microprocessors designed by Intel intended for use in servers and high-end workstations environments. The Xeon brand, which first appeared in 1998 spans two micro-architecture generations including Intel NetBurst (microarchitecture) and core.
Xeon CPUs share the same features as the Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo/Quad desktop microprocessors. These CPUs can work in dual and quad systems and even in an 8-way setup. Likewise, the Xeon brand is usually designed with a much larger level 2 and level 3 cache.
