Intel processors provide choice
Intel has launched two quad-core Intel Xeon processors. They are said to boast excellent combinations of performance and energy efficiency, along with a pricing strategy to move the enterprise industry to multi-core systems. They also contain virtualisation capabilities, Intel says.
Designed for companies running performance-critical server and workstation applications, the Intel Xeon Processor X5365 is said to fit inside a standard 120-watt power envelope. The X5365 also features front-side bus (FSB) speed of 1333MHz, Intel adds.
With Intel Xeon Processor L5335, Intel says that it is delivering higher performance quad-core processors designed for servers that require optimal space and power utilisation. The processor includes a 2GHz clock speed and 1333MHz FSB within a 50-watt power envelope – or just 12,5 watts per processing core, Intel adds.
“Moore’s Law, Intel’s silicon design and process technology and the Core microarchitecture are allowing us to deliver even greater levels of end-user value by essentially enabling price parity between dual and quad-core Intel Xeon processors at a given clock frequency, further accelerating quad-core market adoption,” says Kirk Skaugen, vice-president of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group, and GM of the Server Platforms Group.
A number of systems vendors are supporting the new processors, including Dell, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, HP, IBM, SGI, SuperMicro, Rackable Systems, Verari and more than 40 others.
