Intel's latest Xeon processor

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Intel Corp. recently announced the availability of its last planned single-core Intel Xeon processor with 2MB of L2 cache running at 3.80GHz. Drop-in compatible with the previous Intel Xeon processor platforms, this processor offers power-saving features such as Demand Based Switching, enhanced performance, and flexibility with support for Hyper-Threading Technology, DDR2-400 memory and PCI Express. The company also introduced a 64bit Intel Xeon processor 2.80GHz with 2MB L2 cache for servers used in small and medium business environments.
"We are aggressively driving the transformation to an entire new generation of multi-core servers. As the most widely-deployed 64bit platform in the industry, Xeon is the clear server and workstation workhorse for business," said Diane Bryant, VP of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group and GM of Intel's Server Platforms Group. "And as we support the transition to multi-core enterprise computing, Intel is already sampling next-generation processors and platforms that will consume orders of magnitude less power and incorporate new platform technologies that deliver leadership manageability, virtualization and I/O efficiency."
Intel also announced new low voltage versions of its Intel Xeon processor line, including the 64bit Intel Xeon processor LV 3GHz with a 55W processor power envelope and the 64bit Intel Xeon processor MV 3.20GHz with a 90W processor power envelope. Both processors are targeted at server rack and blade designs where space is constrained and power-efficiency is a priority.
The 64-bit Intel Xeon processors with 2MB L2 cache at operating speeds of 3.8GHz and 2.8GHz are available for $851 and $198, respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities. The 64bit Intel Xeon processor LV 3GHz is priced at $519, while the 64bit Intel Xeon processor MV 3.20 GHz is available for $487 in 1,000-unit quantities
