NOTE: Although the Intel Xeon E5-2600 processor family supports dual processors, the HP Z420 Workstation does not support dual processor configurations. Available Processor Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate Disclaimers features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details. 64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information. Quad-Core, Six-Core, and Eight-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full benefits.
