Intel pushes 32-nanometer server chip

Intel review

May 11, according to foreign media reports, Intel plans for its eight-core Nehalem-EX processors server product launch follow-up next year. Intel will introduce 32-nanometer manufacturing technology to its production of high-end server processors.

Intel introduced the latest product road map last Thursday, and said the network meeting, code-named Westmere-EX Intel chip will be added in March this year launched 32 nm Westmere-EP Xeon 5600 processor chip. Xeon 5600 processor designed for dual-socket workstation or server, and the new Westmere-EX processor product line will apply to the configuration of two, four or more socket servers Fujitsu LifeBook A3120 battery.

Intel announced in March of Xeon-based Nehalem-EX 6500 and 7500 the two brand servers. At the same time, Intel also introduced the Xeon 5600 processor Westmere-EP.

Nehalem-EX series chip is manufactured using 45-nanometer production technology Hp Mini 110 battery, and energy-saving and performance not as good as 32 nm Westmere-EP chip. Chip, code-named representatives of energy-saving performance in the EP, and EX is Intel's scalable server acronyms.

Westmere-EX server processors will be more energy-efficient 32-nanometer process to introduce high-end servers, and may increase the number of processor cores, but Intel is not willing to provide the core Westmere-EX product details such as the number and clock speed. Intel did not say Westmere-EX processor in 2011 when the launch Dell Latitude E6500 battery.

Intel's PC client business and the achievement of manager Stephen Smith said at the meeting, Westmere-EX chip socket compatible with Nehalem-EX Xeon 7500 chip socket.

Smith said, Westmere-EX chip Xeon 7500 processor-based platform, a mid-term update. He said, Westmere-EX uses the same platform as the infrastructure is in fact the same socket on a processor upgrade.

Smith said the Xeon 5600 processor power consumption reduced 95%, the space occupied by the data center can be reduced 15 times. This Canon BP-827 Battery processor to manage data center it is very attractive, because data centers are generally tight places.

Smith added that the updated processor chip will increase 15 times the performance, power consumption decreased by 8%.

Intel's server processors directly compete with AMD processors. AMD has also been increasing the number of server processor cores. AMD's Magny-Cours server processor with 12 cores. AMD said it plans to launch next year, code-named "Interlagos" the 16 nuclear and 32-core server chips.
