Xeon

Pentium II Xeon

Pentium II Xeon

<processor> The successor to Intel Corporation's {Pentium II} processor. The Xeon has the same P6 core as existing {Pentium Pro}/Pentium II units, but it supports a 100 MHz system bus and offers as much as 2 MB of level 2 cache. xeon/home.htm">http://intel.com/PentiumII/xeon/home.htm. (1998-09-09)

Xeon

Xeon ( ZEE-on) is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. Xeon processors are based on the same architecture as regular desktop-grade CPUs, but have advanced features such as support for ECC memory, higher core counts, more PCI Express lanes, support for larger amounts of RAM, larger cache memory and extra provision for enterprise-grade reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features responsible for handling hardware exceptions through the Machine Check Architecture. They are often capable of safely continuing execution where a normal processor cannot due to these extra RAS features, depending on the type and severity of the machine-check exception (MCE). Some also support multi-socket systems with two, four, or eight sockets through use of the Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) bus.
