Intel Launches 16 45nm Desktop and Server Processors Today!!
Built using an entirely new transistor formula that alleviates the wasteful electricity leaks that threaten the pace of future computer innovation, Intel Corporation today unveiled 16 server and high-end PC processors. In addition to increasing computer performance and saving energy use, these processors also eliminate eco-unfriendly lead and, in 2008, halogen materials. This is also the official release day of the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad core processor, the worlds first 45nm Hi-k desktop processor. Legit Reviews had the honor or reviewing this processor a couple weeks ago, so in case you missed it here is the link to the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad core processor review on LR. Pricing is still a bit high at $1,199 plus shipping on the QX9650.
New to the Intel line-up of server processors are 15 server dual-core and quad-core 45nm Hi-k Intel Xeon processors. The 12 new quad-core chips boast clock speeds ranging from 2GHz up to 3.20GHz, with front side bus speeds (FSB) up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 12MB. The three new dual-core chips feature clock speeds of up to 3.40GHz, an FSB of up to 1600MHz, and cache sizes of 6MB. The 45nm Hi-k Intel Xeon processors are compatible with server platforms using the Intel 5000 chipset family.
