Today, Intel launched 50W low power versions of the 45nm Quad-Core Xeon processors (the L5400 series).
The 2 new SKUs are listed below:
Quad-Core Xeon L5420 2.50 GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz
Quad-Core Xeon L5410 2.33 GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz
These products offer IT and business users 2 primary benefits:
45nm 50W quad-core brings 25% improved performance over previous generation 65nm 50W quad-core processors
They also run 30W cooler than mainstream 80W quad-core processors delivering the same performance at the same frequency.
We have seen strong interest for these 50W quad-core products and I'd like to hear from you on where you would use low power quad-core and why?
