Intel intros 3GHz quad core processor
Plus a low power model too
Mon Aug 13 2007, 11:44
CHIP FIRM Intel said it has introduced two quad core server chips ahead of schedule and set pricing to drive the
market. [Surely drive AMD mad? Ed.]
The Xeon X5365 is a 3GHz quad core chip which runs at 120 watts, and has a front side bus speed of 1333MHz. The L5335 is a 2GHz chip which runs at 50 watts.
Intel claims that a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX300 S3 server using the 5365 scored 98.9 using the SPECint_rate-base 2006 benchmark.
The chips include Intel's virtualisation tech and the firm said the chips have additional extensions for better interrupt handling using Windows 32-bit OSes.
The chip firm is pricing the X5365 at $1,172 and the L5335 at $380.
As we reported in June, chip rival AMD will introduce two "Barcelona" quad core chips on September 10th. µ
