Nov 12th, 2007 by MuZumbu
Intel launched this Sunday its long-awaited new line of power-efficient microprocessors, codenamed Penryn, designed to deliver better graphics and application performance as well as virtualization capabilities.
Intel has teamed up with 40 original equipment manufacturers to deliver Penryn-based Xeon and Core 2 processors. Vendors including HP and Lenovo have already announced business desktops with Penryn-based quad-core Xeon 5400 processors, with more server announcements scheduled to come soon.
The processors, manufactured using a 45-nanometer process, feature smaller transistors and cut down on electricity leaks, which makes them faster and more power efficient than earlier 65-nm processors, said Stephen Smith, director for Intel’s digital enterprise group operations.
