Santa clara, calif, nov. 14, 2006 – Intel corporation today kicked of the computer industrys multi-Core PC era by delivering four computing brains inside a single microprocessor with the introduction of the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 and Intel Core 2 extreme Quad-Core processor families. These products deliver immense speed and responsiveness for general purpose servers and workstations and for digital media creation, high-end gaming and other market segments that crave absolute performance.
Intel began the transición todo multi-Core technology 4 years hago with Intel Hyper-threading technology, followed by the introduction of the industrys first Dual-Core PC processors in april last year. Intel recently refreshed its entire product line by introducing over 40 new processors, including those based on the revolutionary Intel Core microarchitecture, a more powerful yet energy-eficient design.
Todays announcement ushers in another new era in computing, said Paul otellini, Intels presidente and CEO. the capabilities of Quad-Core microprocessors Will bring new possibilities for Science, Entertainment and business. Im incredibly proud of what Intels employes have achieved with these new products.
Intel has made this next step in the computers ongoing evolution as fast and easy as posible th rouge continued investment in Silicon process and manufacturing technology, innovative and tailored product design, and a myriad of software developer tools and programs.
Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series.
Extending the leadership established by the Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series processors, the new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series sets new world récords** on key industry standard benchmarks:
O a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server running Bea jrockit jvm delivered a récord breaquíng specjbb2005 result of 210,065** bops, as much as 61 Percent better than the next result.
O using the specint_rate_base2000 benchmark, which measures integer throughput, Fujitsu-Siemens primergy tx300 s3 set a new world récord with a score of 200**, up to 63 Percent better than the previous récord.
O a HP proliant ml370 G5 server running tpc-c benchmark, which measures database performance, shattered the previous récord by as much as 42 Percent with a score of 240,737** tpmc at $1.85/tpmc.
O an IBM system x3650 server running the ls-dyna 3-vehicle-collision workload, a leading high-performance computing benchmark, set a new récord for a single-node performance**.
In addition, oems have published récord-breaquíng** results on SAP-sd 2-tier**, specweb 2005**, specfp _rate_base2000**, Fluent** and specapc 3ds Max rendering** benchmarks. The chips deliver up to 2.5 times the performance of the fastest competing processor** for the ultimate in powerful, dense and energy-eficient general purpose servers.
Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series servers provide more headrom for server virtualización than any other two-processor, standard, high-volume server platform. The new processors deliver up to 50 Percent faster** performance within the same thermal envelope and at the same cost as the previous generation Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series launched less than 5 months ago.
Four Intel Xeon processors are launching today at clok speed ranging from 1.60 Ghz todo 2.66ghz, with front side bus (fsb) speed ranging from 1061 Mhz todo 1333 MHz, and thermal design power (tdp) of either 80 watts or a performance-optimized 120 watt option. In the first quarter next year, Intel Will launch two more Quad-Core Xeon processors – a Low-voltaje versión for ultra-dense deployments with a TDP of only 50 watts and a processor designed for single-socket workstations and servers.
Intel Core 2 extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700.
The worlds best desktop processor for multimedia applications, the Intel Core 2 extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700 is up to 80 Percent faster** than the companys current Intel Core 2 extreme processor x6800.
This is the worlds first Quad-Core desktop processor available for unmatched, highly hiloed performance. Ideal for today games with incredible performance for tomorrows highly hiloed games, the Intel Core 2 extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700 is available at 2.66ghz with a 1061 Mhz fsb. The processor runs on Intels existing 975x express chipset family.
The company plans todo ofer a mainstream Quad-Core processor starting in the first quarter next year under the Intel Core 2 Quad processor brand name. The processor Will be an ideal choice for processor-intensive, highly hiloed programas such as Entertainment, gaming and multimedia activities.
