processor. They incorporate powerful Intel Xeon processors with 8 MB or 12 MB
cache, model dependent. These flip-chip, land grid array 6 (FC-LGA6) processors
feature advanced transfer caches integrated onto the processor core and run at the
same clock speed as the processor core.
Two processor connectors are standard on the system board to support installation
of a second processor. High-speed, 1333 MHz DDR3 RDIMMs are optimized for 1333
MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The System x3500 M3 server
uses the Intel Tylersburg DP chipset-36D to maximize throughput from processor to
memory and system I/O buses.

GHz and GTS denote the internal and/or external clock speed of the microprocessor
only, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.

When referring to HDD or tape backup capacity, GB stands for 1,000,000,000 bytes
and TB stands for 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. User capacity may vary depending on
operating environments.

The x3500 M3 subsystems are tuned to provide solid system throughput from
processor, to memory, to bus, to disk-intensive I/O. These features, combined with
SMP capability, make the System x3500 M3 server an excellent choice for a stand-
alone or clustered general-business application, file, and print server.
