Intel Dual Core Server
Processor Dual-core
processors deliver a quantum leap in processing capacity without a comparable
increase in power consumption, enabling businesses to grow their computing solutions more efficiently and at reduced cost. Future Intel®
processors will extend these advantages by integrating more cores per processor, which is projected to increase server performance.
As this transition gains momentum, Intel is uniquely positioned to deliver the solutions and resources businesses need to maximize the value of migration, while reducing their associated costs and risks.
Ø Rapid Performance Scaling
Intel currently has over 17 multi-core processor designs underway. It is expected that 70 to 85 percent of all new desktop, mobile and server processor shipments will be dual-core by the end of 2006. This will drive wide availability and volume pricing, so businesses have increasingly powerful, flexible and cost-effective computing solutions they can deploy with confidence.
Ø Complete Solution Value
Intel is integrating a variety of new server technologies in its dual-core processor-based systems to improve performance, scalability, flexibility and overall
business value. Examples include Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), and Intel® Power Tools. In conjunction with 64-bit Intel® processors and Hyper-Threading Technology, these technologies will be instrumental in optimizing value, reducing costs and mitigating risk in real-world business and IT environments.
Intel is also working with thousands of hardware and software vendors to deliver the broadest choice of business solutions optimized for Intel dual-core and multi-core processor-based servers. Optimized software is particularly critical, and Intel has over a decade of experience in optimizing code for multi-threaded throughput, first for multi-processor servers, then for Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology and now for dual-core processors. View a demo highlighting the difference between HT Technology and multi-core processing. Over this time, Intel has established the tools, resources, expertise and relationships needed to drive increasing thread-optimization across the full range of business applications.
