Chipzilla improves low-power server offering
Yes, we Hafnium no bananas
CHIP BEHEMOTH Intel said it has released two quad core 45 nanometre low voltage processors for servers and workstations that each consume 50 watts, or 12.5 watts a core, as the firm has it.
The processors – the L5420 and L5410 clock at 2.50GHz and 2.33GHz, with each having 12MB caches and using a 1333MHz system bus. They cost $380 and $320 when you buy 1,000 of them.
Intel said it’s got support from a clutch of server vendors that include Dell, HP, Big Blue, Tyan and Verari.
Chipzilla promised that it would ship a low dual core voltage processor in the next quarter which will have a 6MB cache, consuming 40 watts, and clocking at 3GHz.
So far, it said, it is shipping 35 SKUs which use its Hafnium high-k metal gate process at 45 nanometres. µ

low TPI quad core for laptop?
When are they going to release 25w quad cores for laptop? It seems the one in their current road map will consume 45w, which is too much for anything except desktop replacementShipping?
How about they actually started shipping some of the promised cpu's instead of announcing new ones, where are the Q9300 and Q9450's?!quad core for laptops
Dual core turions have been very successful for AMD. If Intel brings 45nm low power quad core to notebook or HTPC market , they can squeeze AMD more . Also customers will benefit immensely as to stay competitive AMD will have to release a quad core mobile processor and move to 45 or 32nm which they have got away with so far due to lack of competition from intel.
