Pentium 350 chip start shipping: low-end server

Beijing time November 24 Evening News, Intel (Micro-BO) for low-end server Pentium 350 processor has started shipping.

Pentium 350 is 1.2GHz with a 3MB three cache, but does not have integrated GPU performance.

The Pentium series processor, which has been on the market for more than 10 years, is Intel's iconic product, but is currently used for inexpensive laptops and desktops. Pentium used to be Intel's flagship PC-oriented product, and now its position has been replaced by the core series processor. Intel has provided the Pentium III and Pentium II Xeon processors for the server.

Intel spokeswoman said the Pentium 350 is for Low-power micro-servers.

Intel has released Xeon E3 processors and is expected to soon be involved in the development of a new atom based micro-server chip.

Dean McCarron, an analyst at Mercury Research at the US market studies firm, argues that the emergence of the Pentium 350 proves the appeal of the Pentium brand.

In addition to the micro-servers, the Pentium 350 service object can be configured into affordable and mission-specific servers for storage, printing, and file sharing functions, McCullen said.

In addition, McCullen believes that the inexpensive Pentium 350 is an ideal replacement for Intel's PC chips.

Industry insiders say Intel is likely to use the Pentium 350 processor to replace Celeron products that serve the low-end market.

Intel declined to provide a quote for Pentium 350.
