Key features and benefits
HP Insight Diagnostics simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating the
hardware issues. In addition to robust management tools, service tools can be invaluable in quickly
resolving system problems. To streamline the service process and resolve problems quickly, it is necessary
to have the right information available at the time that a service call is placed. The primary information
requirement, which is also the one that provides the greatest insight into potential system issues, is the
configuration of the system. Insight Diagnostics helps provide higher system availability. Typical uses of
the Insight Diagnostics are:

Testing and diagnosing apparent hardware failures
Documenting system configurations for upgrade planning, standardization, inventory tracking,
disaster recovery, and maintenance

Sending configuration information to another location for more in-depth analysis
No
Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI).

Allows the system to wake from a low power mode.

Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals

in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system

Introduction

Intel's latest-generation microarchitecture represents the next step in unprecedented processor performance and dynamic scalability.
Designed from the ground up to take advantage of hafnium-based Intel® 45nm hi-k metal gate silicon technology, Intel®
Microarchitecture (Nehalem) unleashes parallel processing performance enabled by Intel® QuickPath technology providing an
integrated memory controller and high-speed interconnect per independent processing core.

Performance and Features

Maximum multitasking performance Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem) offers the latest in processor innovation, including:

'Dynamic scalability, managed cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power for energy-efficient performance on demand.
Design and performance scalability for servers, workstations, notebooks and desktops with support for 2-8+ cores and up to
16+ threads with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology), and scalable cache sizes, system interconnects,
and integrated memory controllers.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology delivers additional performance automatically when needed by taking advantage of the
processor's power and thermal headroom. This enables increased performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded
workloads.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology brings high-performance applications into mainstream computing with 1-16+ threads
optimized for a new generation multi-core processor architecture.
Scalable shared memory of Intel® QuickPath technology features memory distributed to each processor with integrated
memory controllers and high-speed point-to-point interconnects to unleash the performance of future versions of next-generation
Intel® multi-core processors.
Multi-level shared cache improves performance and efficiency by reducing latency to frequently used data.

Turbo Boost Technology

This technology now built into Xeon 3500 Series Quad-Core processors will increase the speed of your processor on demand (from
OS) if the CPU is operating below power / thermal specifications:

Benefit of Turbo Boost (how much CPU speed up) depends on number of active cores
Likelihood of Turbo Boost operation increases when less cores are active
Likelihood of Turbo Boost operation increases when dynamic power mgt is enabled
