Intel selber gibt massive Performancesteigerungen an:

The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series extends performance gains delivered by the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 with 12 new world records for two-socket servers and workstations.

These processors enable outstanding energy-efficient performance and establish a new SPECpower_ssj2008 record for a single node server and a multi-node server. Specifically, the IBM x3650 M3 (single-node server system) delivered 2,927 overall ssj_ops/watt, up to a 42 percent gain over the previous-generation Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, and IBM dx360 M3 (multi-node server system) reports a result of overall 3,038 ssj_ops/watt, up to a 31 percent gain over previous-generation processors. Fujitsu's PRIMERGY RX300 S6 two socket server with two Intel Xeon processors L5640 series meets the needs of those customers who desire performance of the Intel Xeon processor X5570 series but uses up to 30 percent lower platform power.

Fujitsu's PRIMERGY RX300 S6 system established world record Java performance (a SPECjbb2005 score of 928,393 bops, up to a 46 percent boost over previous generation), world record ERP performance (SAP-SD 2-Tier ERP 6.0 Unicode score of 4,860 benchmark users, up to a 27 percent boost over previous-generation result) and world record Web serving performance (SPECweb2005 score of 104,422, up to a 25 percent boost over previous- generation result). Dell's PowerEdge R710 system established a new 2S server platform performance world record for SPECint rate_base2006 with a score of 355 and for SPECfp_rate_base2006 with a score of 248.

Cisco's UCS B250 M2 servers powered with two Intel Xeon processor X5680 series set a world record for virtualization performance with a VMMark score of 35.83 at 26 tiles, up to a 42 percent performance gain over previous-generation product. Cisco's UCS B200 M2 platform delivered a record score on SPEComp Mbase2001 and Cisco's UCS C250 M2 platform also delivered a world record on SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark.
