Nehalem-EX processors have 20 times the performance compared to single-core Xeon processors, said Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of Intel's Data Center team said at the launch of products held in San Francisco "A host attached to Nehalem-EX processors can change the 20 single-core servers, which will help merge the data center and sinking energy costs."

Nehalem-EX processors are targeted for servers that want high uptime high, running critical applications such as databases, business intelligence in real time, he said Skaugen. Nehalem-EX can also be used in systems with high performance computing at most 256 sockets.
The 8-core processor will run at speeds from 1.86 to 2.26 GHz, each core can run two threads at the same time an 8 socket servers can run at the same time as stream 128. Nehalem-EX is up to 24MB cache, double the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series relase in mid-October 3 / 2010 servers for low and medium level.
The 8-core processors will be part of the line Xeon 7500 and 6500. The company also launched four more CPUs, the new six-core product lines of this. The price of the CPUs in the range of 744$ to 3,692$ .
