IBM will use Intel's low-voltage "Nocona¨ in its blade servers starting next month to reduce the energy consumption and heat, the company said.
The move will reduce the power consumption per processor in its Blade system by about 50 watts and by up to 1.5 kilowatts per chassis, said IBM. The low-voltage Xeon processor, which, like all chips with the Nocona core, can run both 32- and 64-bit applications, consumes about 55 watts, a little more than half of the 103 watts consumed by the regular Xeon.
