Intel Breathes New Life Into Pentium

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-alive dept.

angry tapir writes "Intel is giving new life to its Pentium processor for servers, and has started shipping the new Pentium 350 chip for low-end servers. The dual-core processor operates at a clock speed of 1.2GHz and has 3MB of cache. Like many server chips, the Pentium 350 lacks features such as integrated graphics, which are on most of Intel's laptop and desktop processors."

    Hmmm... processors do do more work per clock nowadays as compared to 12 years ago. And, they do it at waaaaaaaay less power and cost. Think about your huge many-fanned nearly 1kW rig from the turn of the millennium vs. the cramped space of a 1U slot pulling maybe 100W. This ain't your father's Pentium.
