Intel has kicked off the computer industry's multi-core PC era by delivering four computing "brains" inside a single microprocessor with the introduction of the quad-core Intel Xeon 5300 and Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor families.
These products deliver immense speed and responsiveness for general purpose servers and workstations and for digital media creation, high-end gaming and other market segments that crave absolute performance.
The new quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series sets new world records on key industry standard benchmarks. In addition, OEMs have published record-breaking results on SAP-SD 2-Tier, SPECWeb 2005, SPECfp _rate_base2000, Fluent and SPECapc 3dsmax Rendering benchmarks. The chips are claimed to deliver up to 2.5 times the performance of the fastest competing processor for the ultimate in general purpose servers.
Quad-core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series servers provide more headroom for server virtualization than any other two-processor, standard, high-volume server platform. The new processors deliver up to 50% faster performance within the same thermal envelope and at the same cost as the previous generation dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series launched less than 5 months ago.
Four Intel Xeon processors are launching now at clock speeds ranging from 1.60 to 2.66GHz, with front side bus (FSB) speeds ranging from 1,066 to 1,333MHz, and thermal design power (TDP) of either 80W or a performance-optimized 120W option. In the first quarter next year, Intel will launch two more quad-core Xeon processors -- a low-voltage version for ultra-dense deployments with a TDP of only 50W and a processor designed for single-socket workstations and servers.
A desktop processor for multimedia applications, the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700 is up to 80% faster than the company's current Intel Core 2 Extreme processor X6800.
This is the world's first quad-core desktop processor available for highly threaded performance. Suitable for today's games with better performance for tomorrow's highly threaded games; the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700 is available at 2.66GHz with a 1066MHz FSB. The processor runs on Intel's existing 975X Express chipset family.
