Intel will push 8 core server chip Nehalem IBM support

CNET Science and Information Network May 31 International report Intel said a few days later this year will launch a 8 processing core server chip.　　IBM also shows a high-end server that uses eight Intel 8 core chips (a total of 64 cores). Intel's Nehalem-ex processor is scheduled to start production later this year and will be available in early 2010 with high-end server systems. Boyd Davis, general manager of Intel Server Platform Marketing Group, said in a telecommunications conference that the product was set up at 8 processing cores in a single chip that supports 16 threads.　　With threads, Intel can basically double the workload of each processing core. IBM, who participated in the meeting, introduced a server that is still under development by BladeCenter's vice-president, Alex Yost, which uses 64 Nehalem-ex cores (eight processors) to handle 128 threads.　　"We are very happy today to be the first company to demonstrate Nehalem-ex," he said.　　Nehalem-ex Each processor slot will have 16 memory sockets, the storage capacity can be doubled, and the four high frequency wide "quickpath" interconnect architecture is provided. Intel also said that the Nehalem server chips on sale are showing a bright eye. The first Intel server processor Xeon 5500, using the Nehalem architecture, will account for more than half of Intel's high-capacity dual-processor (dual-slot) shipments to the end of August, Davis said.　　He said: The initial release from the end of March, to August for the dual-processor server market for a large number of shipments this period, customer acceptance has been strong. Intel's Nehalem-ex architecture supports up to 8 processors with a maximum of 8 cores per processor
