Xeon
Xeon is an marketing name for Intel’s server-class CPUs from the Pentium family.
Intel has manufactured and sold Xeon versions of the Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, and Pentium MP CPUs.
Xeon CPUs are differentiated from each other by their CPU speeds, Front Side Bus speeds, and the size of their L2 cache and L3 cache.
Current Xeon CPUs require the use of Dual Channel DDR or DDR2 SDRAM.
Intel also manufactures low-voltage versions of the Xeon CPUs. In addition to reduced voltage, these Xeon’s also produce less heat.

- EM64T (Intel 64)
EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology), now known more commonly as Intel 64 or the x64 (that is when including AMD64 too), is a 64 bit superset/extensions that central processing units (CPUs) process. It is widely used in Intel’s processors, including Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Celeron D, Xeon, Pentium Dual Core, and Core [...]...
- Athlon-64
Athlon-64 is a name for AMD’s main line of 64-bit CPUs. The Athlon-64 line is designed to complete against the Intel Pentium CPUs. Athlon-64 processors are designed to execute 32-bit and 64-bit instructions simultaneously. This enables them to directly address more than 4GB of RAM. Athlon-64 CPUs feature an L1 cache with 64KB of RAM [...]...
- Front Side Bus
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the connecting path between the CPU and other key components such as system memory. The Front Side Bus is also called the Data Bus and the Processor Side Bus (PSB). Front Side Bus Widths of Various CPUs CPU Front Side Bus Width 8088 8 8086 16 80286 16 80386SX [...]...
- Dual Core
A dual core processor is part of a category called multi-core processors. These computer processors have more than one independent processor on the chip or package. In the case of a dual core processor, the entire chip has two independent computer processors that can work together to increase total computer performance. For non-technical consumers, dual [...]...
- Sempron
Sempron is a name for AMD's line of lower-cost CPUs. The Sempron line is designed to complete against the Intel Celeron lower-cost CPUs. Sempron CPUs feature a L1 cache with 64KB of memory for data and another 64KB of memory for instructions. The L2 cache on Sempron CPUs operates at the full speed of the [...]...
