After so many Opteron based products, here come the Intel dedicated ones. The first is Supermicro?s series of uni-processor (UP) server solutions based on Intel's new E3010 and E3000 chipsets, which are said to improve the performance and the energy consumption providing in the same time a performance-per-watt boost.

Supermicro is an important manufacturer of high-efficiency servers, chassis and motherboards, that has recently developed 5025M+ and 5015M+ SuperServers and Super PDSM+ series motherboards which include, according to a representative?s statement, more than a dozen new server solutions.

But the manufacturer didn?t settle for less and released other products, including the SuperServer 5025M-4+ and 5025M-i+ which are power driven by the Intel E3010 (Mukilteo-2P) chipset, thus, supporting one Intel Xeon 3000 or Core 2 Duo processor with a 1066/800/533 MHz system bus and up to 8GB of ECC unbuffered DDR2-667/533 memory.

"Our incredibly versatile new line of Mukilteo-2P/2 multi-core platforms span a multitude of industry segments, and they deliver the performance and features user demand in order to realize the full potential of their applications," asserts Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "Just as important, industry-leading energy efficiency and the ability to upgrade to multi-core processors reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for all of these new products."

The servers sport other enhanced features such as four SATA ports (3 Gb/s) with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, dual PCI-Express Gigabit LAN ports, and a SIM1U IPMI 2.0 slot for remote server management. The 5025M-4+ also comes with Ultra 320 SCSI with host RAID and ZCR card support, while both servers comply with RoHS requirements.
