Intel pushed harder into the server market Tuesday, rolling out new versions of its high-end Pentium II Xeon chip to support four-processor servers.
The three new 450-MHz processors, with 512 kilobytes, 1 megabyte to 2 MBs of Level 2 cache, offer the performance features needed for server applications such as e-commerce and enterprise resource planning, according to Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel.
During a briefing, John Miner, vice president and general manager of Intel's enterprise-server group, said applications that will greatly benefit from the larger, 2 MBs of cache include database-intensive applications.
The new Xeon chips reflect Intel's goal of moving up the enterprise-computing ladder, Miner said.
Later this quarter, Intel will announce the 500-MHz Tanner, the next in its Xeon family line of processors for servers. Tanner will incorporate the Katmai new instructions, which include enhanced 3-D graphics and speech-recognition capabilities.
