16.09.2008 - Intel lancia le cpu Xeon 7400 capaci di integrare fino a 6 core |
Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Intel ha lanciato ufficialmente sette nuovi processori di classe Xeon, realizzati con un processo di fabbricazione a 45nm, arricchito dalla tecnologia proprietaria "High-K Metal Gate", che prevede l'utilizzo di uno strato di ossido di afnio alla base dell'elettrodo di gate. L'architettura adottata da Intel permette l'integrazione sul die di un numero massimo di core pari a 6, ognuno dei quali può raggiungere la frequenza di clock pari a 2.66GHz. I chip sono parte della linea Xeon 7400, con la quale Intel punta a rispondere alle esigenze degli ambiti enterprise più disparati ed impegnativi, come ambienti virtualizzati, database e sistemi che eseguono logica di business ad alte prestazioni. I nuovi Xeon 7400 sono retrocompatibili con le piattaforme per Xeon 7300 basate sui chipset Intel 7300; ne consegue la possibilità di realizzare, facendo uso di motherboard a 16 socket, sistemi di calcolo con un numero di core che può arrivare a 96. In accordo a Intel, Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, Hitachi, HP, IBM, NEC, Sun, Supermicro e Unisys hanno già realizzato soluzioni basate su Xeon 7400. [Immagine ad alta risoluzione] SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2008 – Intel Corporation has extended its lead in the high-end server segment, setting new standards in virtualization performance with the launch of seven 45 nanometer (nm)-manufactured Intel Xeon Processor 7400 Series products. With up to six processing cores per chip and 16MB of shared cache memory, applications built for virtualized environments and data demanding workloads, such as databases, business intelligence, enterprise resource planning and server consolidation, experience dramatic performance increases of almost 50 percent in some cases. Platforms based on these processors can scale up to 16 processor "sockets" to deliver servers with up to 96 processing cores inside, offering tremendous scalability, ample computing threads, extensive memory resources and uncompromising reliability for enterprise data centers. "The arrival of these processors extends Intel's lead in the high-end server segment," said Tom Kilroy, Intel vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise Group. "This new processor series helps IT manage increasingly complex enterprise server environments, providing a great opportunity to boost the scalable performance of multi-threaded applications within a stable platform infrastructure. With new features such as additional cores, large shared caches and advanced virtualization technologies, the Xeon 7400 series delivers record-breaking performance that will lead enterprises into the next wave of virtualization deployments." Several Performance Records An HP ProLiant DL580 G5 server on the SAP-SD benchmark that measures a server's sales and distribution capability on SAP software set a world record with a score of 5155 SD-Users. On the SPECint*_rate2006 benchmark, which measures a system's integer throughput performance, a Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY* RX600 S4 server set a record with a score of 291. Several other records were also set on other key enterprise-related benchmarks. Virtualization Platform of Choice These virtualization performance increases, and advanced virtualization capabilities such as Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) FlexMigration make Xeon 7400 series-based servers ideal platforms for customers to standardize their virtual infrastructures. FlexMigration enables VM migration from previous-, present- and future-generation Core microarchitecture-based platforms. This ensures investment protection for administrators seeking to establish pools of virtualized systems and using those pools to facilitate failover, disaster recovery, load balancing and optimizing server maintenance and downtime. Product Details, Customers The Xeon 7400 processor series is compatible with Intel's existing Xeon 7300 series platforms and the Intel 7300 chipset with memory capacity up to 256GB, allowing IT departments to quickly deploy the new processor into a stable platform infrastructure. Starting today, servers based on the Intel Xeon 7400 processor series are expected to be announced by more than 50 system manufacturers around the world, including four-socket rack servers from Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, Hitachi, HP, IBM, NEC, Sun, Supermicro and Unisys; four-socket blade servers from Egenera, HP, Sun and NEC; and servers that scale up to 16-sockets from IBM, NEC and Unisys. Many software vendors are also supporting Intel Xeon 7400 based platforms with innovative solutions enabling virtualization and scalable performance for the high-end enterprise, including Citrix, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, SAP and VMware. Pricing for the Xeon 7000 Sequence processors in quantities of 1,000 ranges from $856 to $2,729. For more details on the Intel Xeon 7400 processor series, visit www.intel.com/xeon.
