Intel upgraded its server processor line Monday with the introduction of new Xeon chips and chip sets that the company hopes will help its push against competing processors from IBM, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett-Packard.
Intel has started to ship four new Xeon chips that are designed to power two-processor servers and workstations. The chips were built with its latest 0.13-micron fabrication process, which has allowed Intel to push speeds on the Xeons up to 2.8 GHz. Intel, based in Santa Clara, California, also released three new chip sets and five server designs for the Xeons to help spur adoption of the chip, the company said in a statement.
