Intel introduces new quad-core Intel Xeon L5400 Series processors aimed for energy-efficient workstations and servers.
The L5240 processor runs at 2.5GHz and the L5410 processor runs at 2.33GHz. Both are quad-core, and both have 12 Mbytes of on-die cache and 1333-MHz front side buses. A number of systems vendors are supporting the L5400 series and L5210, including Asus , Dell , Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gigabyte, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Microstar, NEC, Quanta, Rackable, Supermicro, Tyan and Verari.
The L5400 Series Xeons are also designed for multiprocessor servers in "high-compute density" environments (i.e., racks full of servers). The Xeon L5400 processors are built on the 45-nanometer process seen in the Wolfdale and Penryn desktop and laptop processors, including hafnium high-k metal gate transistors. The L5400 processors maintain a relatively low 50 Watt thermal envelope, helping simplify cooling and composite energy usage.
Both processors are likely to be featured in this year's server designs that follow the current "green" trend of energy efficiency, lowered production costs, and lowered operational costs.
The L5420 is priced at $380 and the L5410 at $320 per chip in 1000 unit quantities.
