09.257.2009 - Future Low-Power Xeon Chips For Comms, Storage On Tap

Intel executives have disclosed new information about next-generation Intel Xeon processors - codenamed "Jasper Forest" - for embedded, communications and storage applications, due in early 2010. The processors feature integrated PCI Express in a dual-processing Xeon processor, which greatly facilitates dense storage and communications solutions such as IPTV, VoIP, NAS, SAN and wireless radio network controllers. Jasper Forest maintains the outstanding performance of Intel architecture (Nehalem), while lowering system power consumption by 27 watts when compared to the Intel Xeon 5500 series processors that were unveiled earlier this year.
