Intel 8-Core will be launched in March 2010 This Month

No doubt, consumers know very well Intel and AMD plans to launch 6-core processor in the next few months. After Advanced Micro Devices processors to market 12-core Magny-Cours, Intel is now preparing to officially release the server processor 8-core Xeon him at the end of March 2010 this month, too.

Multi-core processors with more than two or three cores is not really spread in the consumer market. It's not just because of quad-core is more expensive, but also because there are relatively few applications can take advantage.

However, the situation is very different. Servers, data centers and supercomputers is always processing a large number of jobs in parallel, which makes some core particularly effective, especially if they are designed with HyperThreading. Processor 8-core Xeons will be able to walk on four-socket servers and, by using two thread of each core that is, a matter of logical CPUs can reach 64 cores on a single system.

High scalability is equipped with 256KB of L2 cache memory per core, 24MB of L3 cache shared with the Turbo Boost technology, which can turn off cores that are not used to safely and effectively reduce the burden of use. 8-core processor also has a memory controller with four-channel DDR3 memory and built on 45nm process HKMG (this is based on Nehalem architecture).

8-core processor will be officially released at the end of this month. In addition, Intel prepares to officially add-EP processor Westmere at the same time. This will be based on Westmere 32nm process and will have six cores (aimed at the two-socket server), a 12MB L3 cache and three DDR3 channels.
