Intel is planning to release special server chips based on the new Core architecture. These processors will use more power but will feature increased performance.
In a conversation with a UBS analyst about server processors, Intel indicated that it plans to offer “higher-performance” central processing units for “applications where performance is more important than power consumption”, reports Forbes web-site.
According to UBS analyst Thomas Thornhill, Intel’s code-named Woodcrest processors with two processing engines for mainstream dual-processor servers will have power consumption of 65W, whereas quad-core chips code-named Clovertown will have thermal design power of 80W.
