Intel Corporation introduced a 1.40 GHz version of its Intel® Pentium® III server processor with 512 kilobytes of L2 cache. The processor, based on Intel's advanced 0.13-micron process technology, is ideal for rack-mounted and pedestal front-end application servers, and the emerging ultra-dense server market segment. It delivers a balance of performance and power without sacrificing the reliability and availability that servers require. The processor's 0.13-micron process technology enables a smaller sized chip and lower power usage along with a doubling of the L2 cache to 512Kb. This new process technology also features high-speed copper interconnects that accelerate the flow of data inside the processor, further increasing performance while consuming less power. Processors built on Intel's 0.13-micron process technology consume up to 40 percent less power and are up to 20 percent faster than the previous 0.18-micron process.
