Product Brief Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v3 Product Family6
∆ Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers
dierentiate features within each processor series, not across dierent processor
sequences. See intel.com/products/processor_number for details. Intel products are not
intended for use in medical, lifesaving, life sustaining, critical control, or safety systems,
or in nuclear facility applications. All dates and products specied are for planning
purposes only and are subject to change without notice.
1. No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Built-in security
features available on select Intel Core™ processors may require additional software,
hardware, services, and/or an Internet connection. Results may vary depending
upon conguration. Consult your system manufacturer for more details. For more
information, visit intel.com/technology/security.
2. Intel vPro technology is sophisticated and requires setup and activation. Availability
of features and results will depend upon the setup and conguration of your hardware,
software, and IT environment. To learn more, visit intel.com/technology/vpro.
3. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for
performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests such as SYSmark* and
MobileMark* are measured using specic computer systems, components, software,
operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to
vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully
evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product
when combined with other products.
4. Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for
informational purposes only. Any dierence in system hardware or software design
or conguration may aect actual performance.
5. Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third-party benchmark
data or websites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to
visit the referenced web sites or others where similar performance benchmark data are
reported and conrm whether the referenced benchmark data are accurate and reect
performance of systems available for purchase.
