Intel Corporation today announced a new series of products for the emerging category of low-power, space-saving "ultra dense" servers. The products include the Ultra Low Voltage Pentium® III processor at 700 MHz, which runs at a server-industry-low of 1.1 volts, includes 512 KB of on-chip cache memory and delivers the highest performance in its class.* In addition, the complementary Intel® 440GX chipset delivers server-specific reliability and performance features such as error correcting code and large memory support of up to two gigabytes. Servers based on these components offer the most compelling performance per watt per cubic square foot - an increasingly important factor for IT purchasing decisions and key performance metric for enterprise data centers and Internet Service Providers. Ultra dense systems are commonly used for tasks such as Web serving, firewall protection and Web caching. Systems based on the combination of the Ultra Low Voltage Pentium® III processor at 700 MHz and Intel® 440GX chipset will include 512 KB of on-die level 2 cache memory and support for PC 100 SDRAM memory. The processor is produced in high volumes on Intel's 0.13-micron manufacturing process, an advanced process that enables low voltages for the processor (ranging from 1.1 to 0.95 volts). The chips come in Intel's uFCBGA package, the latest packaging technology for smaller systems such as high-density servers.
