Intel Xeons: Fast and green
Chipmaker Intel is expanding its lineup with the launch of four new Xeon processors. And the new 45-nanometer processors are both fast and greener than their predecessors because they are all halogen-free.
The Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series consists of the new X5492, X5470 and L5430 processors, the fastest of which boasts a clock speed of 3.4GHz. The low voltage version uses only 50 watts of power or just 12.5 watts per core. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor X5270 runs as low as 80 watts with frequencies as high as 3.5GHz.
The new processor lineup is drop-in compatible with dual core processors released since 2006.
Intel will also release halogen-free versions of its 5200 and 5400 series that have previously been released.
A number of systems vendors are supporting these new processors including Asus, Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gigabyte, HP, IBM, Sun Microsystems and others
The new 5400 series processors are available now, while the X5270 will be available later this year.
