Intel to boost Xeon chips next week
C|Net | at | by Mike
Intel will offer a performance boost for workstations and servers next week, with a pair of new Xeon chips. The Santa Clara, Calif., chipmaker is expected to launch the new chips, running at clock speeds of 3GHz and 3.06GHz, on Monday. Though they've yet to be officially unveiled, the new Xeon chips first appeared in workstations in early February.
Dell Computer and Hewlett-Packard, for example, have been selling 3.06GHz Xeon workstations since about Feb. 3. But a number of brand-name computer manufacturers are expected to announce on Monday plans to offer the chips in their server lines.
