Intel puts on its show with Prestonia
C|Net | at | by Mike
Intel on Monday will unveil its first server chip based on the Pentium 4 architecture as it continues to stake a larger claim in the upper echelons of the computing world. The company's new Xeon chip, code-named Prestonia, will feature a host of improvements that will, along with complementary technology coming out the same day, provide a performance boost to one- and two-processor Intel-based servers. To date, Intel has sold Xeon chips based on the older Pentium III architecture in this market, although the company already sells a Pentium 4/Xeon similar to Prestonia in the workstation market.
