Intel releases faster Xeons
Posted by: J0rdan on: 05/22/2000 01:23 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
News.com is reporting that Intel has released "its most powerful chip to date", A new Xeon that takes advantage of technology introduced with earlier, lower-end Pentium III chips.
The new Xeons run at 700MHz and are built with the cache as part of the chip itself, said Anthony Ambrose, a marketing manager for Intel's high-end chip group. Earlier Xeons topped out at 550MHz and have a separate and a therefore slower cache, the special high-speed memory used to keep the processor fed with data and things to do.Another snippit...
With this "onboard" cache and higher clock speed, servers doing jobs such as database transactions show performance gains of about 25 percent to 40 percent over the older Xeons.Intel says the chips will be rather hard to come by for at least two months (surprise, surprise). I'd take a couple :-). I know JC is drooling at the prospect of getting his grubby hands on a couple of these badboys. You can check it out for yourself over here.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
