Intel heeft vandaag een nieuwe Pentium III op de markt gebracht. Deze nieuwe processor loopt op een kloksnelheid van 1,4GHz. De processor is gebaseerd op de 0,13micron techniek en is voorzien van 512KB L2 cache. Dankzij de kleinere microcircuits is de warmte productie beduidend minder dan de 'oude' 0,18micron Pentium III's. Hierdoor is deze nieuwe processor uitermate geschikt voor ultra-dense servers en rackmount servers. Voor 1000 van dergelijke CPU's vraagt Intel $315 per stuk:
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 8, 2002 - Intel Corporation introduced a 1.40 GHz version of its Intel® Pentium® III server processor with 512 kilobytes of L2 cache. The processor, based on Intel's advanced 0.13-micron process technology, is ideal for rack-mounted and pedestal front-end application servers, and the emerging ultra-dense server market segment. It delivers a balance of performance and power without sacrificing the reliability and availability that servers require.
[...] The Server Board SDS2 integrates dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI, three independent PCI buses, including two 64-bit/66MHz buses, dual Intel 10/100 network controllers, and up to 6GB two-way interleaved ECC SDRAM. The SDS2 delivers cost-effective LAN-based remote management via integrated Intel® Server Management without the need for a remote management card. The Server Board SAI2 offers dual processor support, dual independent PCI buses, including one 64-bit 66MHz bus, dual ATA/100 channels, one Intel ten/100 network controller, and capacity for up to 4GB ECC SDRAM.
