Front view of Intel Itanium 9540

Reasons to consider the
Intel Itanium 9540

Report a correction
Much higher clock speed 2.13 GHz vs 1.6 GHz Around 35% higher clock speed
Much more l3 cache 24 MB vs 18 MB Around 35% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
More cores 8 vs 2 6 more cores; run more applications at once
More threads 16 vs 4 12 more threads
Much newer manufacturing process 32 nm vs 90 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Supports dynamic frequency scaling Yes vs No Somewhat common; Allows for maximum performance when needed, while conserving power and minimizing heat production when not needed
Has a NX bit Yes vs No Somewhat common; Prevents a common class of security exploits
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 8 vs 4 Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration
Newer Nov, 2012 vs Jul, 2006 Release date over 6 years later
