Intel Serves Up A New Processor

SANTA CLARA, California--Fifteen years ago, Intel 'history of S was as simple as it was sexy. The company the 'processors of S x86 actuated the world 'GCV of S, and the market of PC developed quickly.

Today, the industry of PC 'the turn of rocket of S is finished. Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - news - people) and the rival Advanced Micro Devices (nyse: AMD - news - people), however, raised their sights, aiming their processors x86 the formless centers of data processing once dominated by the turned specialized processors the crank outside by IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people) and Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA - news - people).

Intel Monday presented the last stage in this evolution, a version of waiter of the design of processor of the core I 7 qu ' it presented in November, doubling it Xeon 5500. Intel 'of new processors of S incorporate a certain number of devices cleared by AMD, while presenting many new wrinkles of its clean.

Intel asserts that its new processors of waiter offer the devices which will improve the execution, consumption of lower energy and will benefit from new technologies, such as the virtualisation, which transform more flexible and more powerful network computers.

One of the most ordered turns: Intel 'new piece multinucl�aire of S can save the power by the stop one or more of its cores of processor--what could be cr�ment compared with the cylinders in a car the 'engine of S--and except the power. It can even take saved energy the stop one of these cores and by employing it to amplify the execution of the remaining cores.

Such turns will hold Intel with the good place, with the software of virtualisation making it possible operators of data-center more effectively to divide of the tasks taken by various software among various waiters.

Intel 'goal of S is to assemble a new gushing in the request which the evaluations of Intel will have like consequence a world with 15 billion devices connected from here 2015, extending starting from the telephones and from the intelligent laptops at the powerful banks of the waiters supporting them.
Comment on this history

Intel indicated that its walk towards this goal started in 1993, when it presented Pentium pro. When Intel embarked approximately 700.000 processors of waiter per year.

We believe that Xeon 5500 will be also transformationnel for the infrastructure of center of data processing which Pentium pro was for the World Wide Web, Patrick says Gelsinger, managing director of Intel 'group of company of S DIGITAL.

But you can also pin Intel 'the last push of S at 2003, when AMD presented its processor of Opteron. The processor showed that the design x86 that the two rivals divide with difficulty could be transformed into plough horse of data-center. Intel answered with a shooting of innovation, cumulating in advertisement of Monday 'of S. the IDC estimates that more than 8 million waiters are embarked one year based on the design x86.

The new processor is good news for manufacturers of waiter seeking fresh technologies which will stimulate the request during the recession. Intel announced that 70 suppliers with more than 230 designs use its processors.

The shares of Intel fell 4.54%, or 70 hundreds, to $14.72 in the trade of Monday.
