Good news for fans of Intel’s technology — ReliableSite has purchased the new Intel Xeon D-1540 processor!
This processor is built on the new ‘Broadwell’ core with SoC (system on chip) technology. The processor works with eight cores and newly-released DDR4 memory at a competitive price compared to similar performing architectures.
A Passmark benchmark completed by ReliableSite on the Intel Xeon D 1540.
The CPU will serve as a lower power and lower cost alternative to Intel’s Xeon E5 processors without sacrificing its large feature set. The Intel Xeon D-1540 is the highest performing processor from Intel’s new Xeon D line. It will be ideal for VPS and web hosting providers due to a high core count and the ability to upgrade memory up to 128 GB. The processor is also equipped with high-performance DDR4 RAM, which will allow ReliableSite servers to control more processes, information, or data without slowing down.
You may have noticed that we’re often an early adopter of Intel technology for our dedicated servers. (We already offer a wide range of Intel’s processors). The choice is very much deliberate. We carefully review our new purchases and make sure to complete benchmark tests and troubleshoot any early issues.
“Intel created something that reduces a gap,” said Radic Davydov, CEO and founder of ReliableSite, “both in performance and pricing – between two of our most popular CPUs. We believe that it will fit the needs of customers looking for the best value.”
PCMag.com reported that this processor works 3.4 times faster per node, and 1.7 times better per watt “when compared to the Intel Atom processor C2750,”. Why does it work for ReliableSite customers? The article continues:”[i]nitial products are optimized for hosters and cloud service providers for a variety of workloads such as dedicated Web hosting, memory caching, dynamic Web serving, and warm storage.”
