Beijing time March 17 morning news, according to foreign media reports, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer Intel said 100,000 sets of Xeon (Xeon) 5600 server processor has shipped, the product is officially listed today.  Boyd Davis Boyd Davis, 6 nuclear vs. 12 Core Intel Marketing director, said the product was Intel's first server component with six processing cores on a single wafer, along with new security features. Intel has launched a new product ahead of AMD, which will launch a 8-and 12-core "Magny" (magny-cours) processor later this month. Two of chipmakers want to win customers who are interested in buying.  Last year, many corporate customers postponed or reduced computer purchases, which were used to run corporate databases and Web sites. Davis says that while the core of AMD chips is more, Intel's chips are more efficient and better performing. In an interview, he said: "To solve the performance problem, AMD has increased the processor core, which is bound to cause problems." We are still at the forefront of the performance of each core. "AMD's chips allow computer manufacturers to add more memory and therefore have a strong price advantage," said Patrick Patla, AMD Vice President Patrick Patra. "Energy-saving Davis says that if a company purchased 15 racks of Intel Architecture servers in 2005, it now has the new chip to achieve the same performance with only 1 racks of servers."  This upgrade will save 95% of energy each year. The built-in encryption features of Xeon 5600 can speed up high security tasks such as online banking.  Davis said the new chips were 60% faster than the original ones when running some software. Adding multiple cores to a processor improves its ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Currently, most processors have two cores, while high-end products have four. (Chin Liang)
