Xeon processors support server memory Common desktops do not support In addition, Xeon processors support some server platform instructions. Make it more efficient to handle large data.
It is reported that quad-core processors can provide extremely high processing speed and excellent responsiveness, and can well meet the various needs of general-purpose servers, digital media production, high-end games, and other market areas that require strict performance.
Related information shows that since the introduction of hyper-threading technology four years ago, Intel has taken steps to transition to quad-core technology. Since then, Intel launched the industry's first dual-core PC processor in April last year. Recently, Intel updated the entire product line within 100 days and introduced more than 30 desktop and server chips based on Core microarchitecture processors.
Paul Otellini, president and chief executive officer of Intel Corporation stated: "Today's product launch has pushed the computer world to a new era. The excellent computing capabilities of quad-core microprocessors will bring more possibilities for science, entertainment and business. ”
It is reported that servers with quad-core Intel Xeon processors can provide more space for server virtualization. Compared to the dual-core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series that has been available for less than five months, the performance of quad-core Intel Xeon processors can be increased by up to 50%.
At the same time, the Intel Core 2 Duo quad-core processor QX6700 Extreme Edition is the world’s first quad-core desktop processor. Compared with the existing Intel Core 2 Duo processor Extreme Edition X6800, the speed increase is up to 80%.
Intel plans to launch a processor for mainstream personal computers in the first quarter of next year and will be uniformly named Intel Core 2 Quad processor.
