14 DAY TRIAL // The company is trying to extend the action area of the software developing tools and to train better the teams of programmers that work for the company. Intel Corporation supplemented the 64 bit platform offer with the Truland solution which includes 64 bit Intel Xeon MP processors (multiprocessor). This solution offers high performance configurations and the Intel E8500 chipset and it was designed to ease the transition towards multiple cores and innovations like the Intel Virtualization technology.
Intel is the first to combine for the MP server platforms the Intel Extended Memory 641, PCI Express, DDR2-400 memory and Demand Based Switching with the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology. These combined characteristics contribute to the increase of memory addressability, raise the level of server performance and ensure a superior level of reliability.
These platforms will be benefiting from the Intel Software Network which offers development, training and consultancy for the software developers in the corporative or individual segment engaged in the creation of 64 bit multi core architecture applications and other future Intel technologies.
Compared to the Intel Xeon MP, the 64 bit Intel Xeon MP platform offers performance increases of up 70% for a large set of enterprise and personal applications.
The Intel E8500 chipset has a dual front side bus of 667 MHz and it's designed for a bandwidth of 10.6GBs which is three times greater than the one of the previous generation.
It is expected that Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Lenovo, NEC, Samsung, Stratus, Supermicro, Tyan, Toshiba, Unisys and Wipro will produce 4-way blade, rack and socket server systems having up to 32 processors 64 bit Intel Xeon MP.
