Intel Rolls Out New High Performance Processors
At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel unveiled its new Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors, which are reportedly 50 percent more powerful and 45 percent more energy efficient than the previous generation.
Intel's versatile Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors (codenamed "Ivy Bridge-EP") are designed for server, storage, and networking infrastructures in data centers. They are based on Intel's leading 22nm manufacturing process. Equipped with up to 12 cores, the new chips support a variety of computationally intensive workloads, with performance gains of up to 50 percent.
The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 are already in several systems: for example, the new IBM * Next scale system, a flexible platform with high rack density for compute-intensive workloads. The Xeon E5-2600 v2 also appears in the IBM x3650 M4 HD storage server, and it will be included with Dell's next storage solution.
