Intel launch its new high-end x86 server processors, the Xeon 7500 family, using up to eight dual-threaded cores. The chips will see use in servers from more than twice as many OEMs as Intel's previous high-end server CPUs, including an SGI system delivering a up to 256 processors.
The Xeon 7500 family, formerly Nehalem-EX, comes in versions with four, six or eight cores running at speeds from 1.86 GHz to 2.26 GHz and consuming 95, 105 or 130W. The chips will pack from 12 to 24 Mbytes L3 cache and cost from $856 to $3,692.
Intel listed as many as 20 new benchmarks for systems using the Xeon 7500 it claimed were world records. They included a 64-processor SGI Altix system, as well as multiple eight and four-way servers.
At least 12 server makers—including Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Oracle's Sun division--will design systems using eight or more of the processors.
