Intel Unveils 6-Core Xeon 7400

Posted by kdawson on from the not-cheaper-by-the-half-dozen dept.

JagsLive recommends CNet coverage that begins "Intel officially unveiled its six-core 'Dunnington' Xeon 7400 processor Monday ... As expected, Intel launched the Dunnington chip for high-end servers ... The Xeon 7400 is also one of the first Intel chips to have a monolithic design. In other words, all six cores will be on one piece of silicon. To date, for any processor having more than two cores, Intel has put two separate pieces of silicon ... inside one chip package."

    I think server builders these days are less interested in the number of cores per CPU and more interested in improvements in the performance/wattage ratio.
