Intel executives have disclosed new information about next-generation Intel Xeon processors – codenamed “Jasper Forest” – for embedded, communications and storage applications, due in early 2010. The processors feature integrated PCI Express in a dual-processing Xeon processor, which greatly facilitates dense storage and communications solutions such as IPTV, VoIP, NAS, SAN and wireless radio network controllers. Jasper Forest maintains the outstanding performance of Intel architecture (Nehalem), while lowering system power consumption by 27 watts when compared to the Intel Xeon 5500 series processors that were unveiled earlier this year. For more information, please see the IDF 2009 press kit.

Innovation@Intel: Massive Cache for 8-core Xeon Processor
Intel recently presented details at the 2009 VLSI Circuits Symposium in Kyoto, Japan about an innovative 24MB cache for an upcoming 8-core Xeon® processor for servers. The design features that enable this cache will in turn enable a very high performance Xeon processor, which is at the same time extremely energy-efficient. See blog: “Massive cache for 8-core processor designed for high performance, low power, high yield” for more of the details behind how Intel is making this happen to bring you tomorrow’s low power microprocessors!
