Intel’s quad-core Xeon reaches 3GHz
Intel has unveiled two new quad-core Intel Xeon processors to its processors line. The Xeon X5365 is the industry’s first 3.0GHz quad-core processor with a front-side bus (FSB) speed of 1333MHz, drawing 120 watts.
The Xeon L5335 is a power conservative sibling running at 2.0GHz and also sporting a 1333MHz FSB but drawing only 50 watts. Both processors are “drop-in” compatible with select existing Intel server platforms. Intel’s initial benchmarks for the X5365 show it claiming the new speed throne relative to Xeon predecessors.
The Xeon X5365 running at 3.0GHz is selling at $1172 while the L5335 running at 2.0GHz is at $380 for 1,000 unit quantities.
