Intel announces 8th nuclear Xeon in February

Next month in San Francisco, Intel promises to talk about eight-core Xeon server processors. This event will occur on February 9 at the international conference ISSCC.

Details of the new processor are currently not reported. In a press release, ISSCC says only that Intel will introduce a new 16-line Xeon processor, made on 45nm technology.

Intel has not commented on the new processor, which will be presented at the presentation. "We will present a 16-page report at a conference in San Francisco, we have nothing more to add on this issue," said Nick Jacobs, a company spokesman in Singapore.

The time of the announcement of the new model suggests that the presented eight-core Xeon may be nothing more than the long-awaited Nehalem EP processor, designed for dual-processor servers and workstations. The release of this processor was just scheduled for the first quarter of 2009.

Judging by the previous announcements of the Nehalem EP, it, like other processors of the Nehalem architecture, will include a built-in memory controller, and also use the Quick Path Interconnect system, which moves the FSB bus, allowing you to increase the amount of data transferred between processors and other computer components. while increasing overall system performance.
