Intel Unveils 50-Watt Quad-core Chips

[Anusha]

Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is scheduled to unveil a pair of Xeon quad-core processors with 50-watt thermal envelopes on March 12. Previous chip models had 120 and 80 thermal watt envelopes. The Xeon L5320 ($519 per 1,000 units shipped) and the L5310 ($455 per 1,000 units shipped) have a total of 8MB of L2 cache, use a 1066MHz FSB and offer clock speeds of 1.86GHz and 1.6GHz, respectively. The two chips will work with Intel's Bensley server platform and have been designed to be "drop-in" compatible with existing dual- and quad-core Xeon processors. In a statement, Intel said a number of vendors will start offering these chips, including Acer, Dell, Digital Henge, Fujitsu-Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, HCL Enterprise, IBM, Rackable Systems, Samsung, Verari Systems and Wipro Technologies.

Little?
They are quad cores. Of course the price will be high. (because Intel has no competition in Quad Core field, they do not have to reduce prices)
