Intel’s Server Processors Down To 50W!
Today, Intel has come up with some great news for anyone interested in building a high performance server (or even more, why not?), because their latest low power server processors look simply great, at least on paper. Obviously, when we talk about low power and low heat, performance remains to be seen in benchmarks, but it's simply great to have such processors available with a TDP of only 50W!
Based on the 45 nm Harpertown core, the new L5400 series is up to 25% faster than the 65 nm L5300 series, based on the Clovertown core, according to Intel. The new L5410 and L5420 processors are cooler and faster than their predecessors, with clock speeds of 2.33GHz and 2.5GHz. Both include 12MB L2 cache, compared to an 8MB, in previous 65 nm models.
The pricing goes like this - L5420 for $380, and L5410 for $320, for orders of 1000 units. Leaving these two processors aside, it is also worth mentioning that Intel promised a 3GHz 40W dual core processor to feature FSB 1333 and 6MB of L2 cache for a Q2 launch.
