Intel to debut low-end Xeon at IDF
Intel is expected to launch a low-end version of its Xeon processor based on the Core 2 Duo at the fall Intel Developer Forum, which kicks off this week.
Expected to be branded Xeon 3000, system builders said the CPU effectively will replace the Pentium D that some system manufacturers?including top-tier vendors such as Dell and IBM?have been using to power entry-level servers for small businesses.
System builders said they believe the Xeon 3000 series will be made up of the top-performing Core 2 Duo chips and is designed for one socket?or what Intel calls uniprocessor?servers.
