Intel has introduced a series of processors designed for business and e-commmerce uses. The eight new Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7100 series processors are designed to perform better than their predecessors, the company said, and they include lower-power options to help cut energy costs.
"Servers based on these platforms are an excellent choice for server consolidation in virtualized environments and for running demanding enterprise workloads such as database, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and e-commerce applications," the company said in a statement.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7100 processor series offers up to twice the performance and nearly three times better performance per watt over previous Intel Xeon MP processors, the company said.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 7100 series is compatible with the existing Intel E8501 chipset that was introduced last year and designed for dual-core processors. The 95-watt dual core option offers up to 40 percent less power consumption than the previous generation processor, providing increased power efficiency and lower energy costs.
Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Unisys are among 40 system manufacturers designing Tulsa into their new server offerings. Tulsa is Intel's response to the Advanced Micro Devices's (AMD) Opteron 800-series processors, the most recent challenger to Intel's dominance in the server processor market.
Unisys said it plans to use Tulsa in its next generation ES7000 in the fourth quarter, and later in its ClearPath server lines. Unisys does not use AMD chips, said Mark Feverston, director of enterprise servers and storage at Unisys. "We know our market,
