Intel launched five new 45nm Xeon embedded processors and a new, lower-power chipset this week. The new products are meant to push Xeon products in embedded markets where the company's previous generation of parts may have been thermally constrained.Read More...
If you have already decided that the next processor that you are buying will be an Intel processor but are yet undecided on the processor itself you might find the Intel Product Comparison Chart useful. It provides access to comparison charts of Intel products such as desktop processors, embedded chipsets, desktop boards or the Xeon server processor family.
A new stepping has improved Intel's dual socket Xeon 54xx Line, as the top bin has increased from 3.2 GHz to 3.4 GHz (Xeon 5492). Stepping E also decreases power consumption significantly: a Xeon 5482 3.2 GHz which previously came with a 150W TDP now dissipates 120W. Both the Xeon at 3.2 and 3.4 GHz are targeted at the HPC and workstation, and have a 1.6...
Intel's new six-core Xeon is the first x86 processor to come within a hair's breadth of the 2 billion transistor mark. It's big, it's bad, and if you need a Xeon upgrade but aren't looking forward to Nehalem (and QuickPath) then this one's for you.Read More...
Despite the huge die size and 1.9 billion (!) transistors, the six-core Xeon 74xx is a wallflower, for both the public as Intel's marketing. If you've invested in a current Intel quad socket platform, the newly launched Intel 74xx series deserves a lot more attention. We compare the hex-core with AMD's quad-core Opteron and its predecessor....
Intel has announced the brand for its high-end line of Nehalem processors. Meet the Intel Core i7—quad-core CPUs, HyperThreading capability, and all in a nifty green and white can. Read More...
Intel has finally lifted the embargo on the yet-to-be-launched Intel Core i7 processors and the Intel X58 Express Chipset! Intel strongly believes that this new platform will be the must have work horse for digital media & gaming enthusiasts for many months to come. Read on to see how the Intel Core i7 920, 940 and 965 do against 14 other processors!
Earlier today, Intel talked to us about their upcoming Core i7 processors, which would be officially launched this month. They gave us some additional details on the processors as well as a look at its performance and overclockability. We also had the opportunity to see four Intel Core i7 systems in action.
“The Asus Z7S WS features dual LGA771 sockets that support Intel Xeon 5000, 5100, and 5300 series processors of both the dual and quad-core varieties. The Z7S WS is built around the Intel 5400 and ESB2E chipset and supports 1600MHz / 1333MHz / 1066MHz / 800MHz front side bus speeds, it has six Fully-Buffered DDR2 DIMM slots, and a pair of Marvell 88E8056 Gigabit LAN jacks with teaming functionality. The Asus Z7S WS’ expansion slot configuration consists of two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, one PCIe x16 slot with an x8 electrical connection, and single PCIe x1, PCI-X, and PCI 2.2 slots.
