Intel® Xeon® E5 technology
• New Haswell microarchitecture with AVX 2.0
• 22nm processor for server/workstations
• Brings several new capabilities in the areas of virtualization, security and power efficiency
• DDR4 memory support to scale performance
� Higher TDP on Haswell driven by integration of voltage regulator for increased platform flexility. System power expected to be relatively same.
All products, computer systems, dates and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change without notice. Intel may make changes to specifications and

System x Predictive Failure Analysis monitors more server components than the competition:
�Hard Disk Drives & Fans, Power Supply Units, Memory, CPUs, Voltage Regulator Modules
Customer Benefits:
�Time is money! Enables diagnosis of server problems in seconds instead of hours/days in large server farms1
Allows problem diagnosis even when system is down!
�Proactively monitors the health of server components and
alerts before failure actually occurs
�Enables personnel to hot-swap failing component or schedule downtime at low-impact times
�Mitigates unnecessary labor & parts replacement

Zone 2
System x Rack Zones
How it Works:
� Fan speed based on ambient temperature
� Each zone adjusts fan speed based on zone thermal conditions
� Lowest fan speed occurs during low ambient condition or system idle mode
� Low wattage, keeping energy costs low� Reduced noise levels
� 2 N+1 fans design
Advantages:
�Longer lifecycle
�High efficiency
�Better Availability
�Drive cost savings
