Bangalore, Mar 12 (UNI) Intel Corporation today announced two new energy-efficient server processers, expanding further its quad-core processor family line-up.
The new energy-efficient 50-watt server processors offered a 35 to 60 per cent power decrease from Intel's existing 80 and 120-watt quad-core server products.
As companies increasingly focus on reducing electricity bills and cooling costs associated with their computing needs, these new processors, requiring just 12.5 watts of power for each of the four cores or processing engines, deliver similar performance, yet set a new standard in energy efficiency, Intel said in a release here.
Intel had introduced 11 servers, workstations and desktop PC quad-core processors since November.
Servers based on the new low-power, quad-core processors were designed for dense Internet data centres, blade servers and industries such as financial services where the scale and density of servers were highly sensitive to power, real estate and cooling costs. The potential for cost savings by replacing aging infrastructure with Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors and deploying virtualisation technology could be as much as 6,000 US Dollars per year over the lifetime of each server based on Intel's own evaluations.
In addition, these new processors represent a nearly ten-fold improvement in power consumption per core in just 18 months. The company attributed this collective success to the merits of its breakthrough Intel Core microarchitecture and aggressive design execution.
