Intel Xeon 5600 Secures, Speeds Cloud Computing

[duploxxx]

The memory controller supports dual DIMMs per channel at 1333MHz clock speeds, too, where Nehalem-EP supported only one per channel.

good improvement so that will be on par then with the new AMD MagnyCours accept for the 3chan - 4chan difference

The Xeon 5600 series will face somewhat more formidable competition in the form of the six-core "Istanbul" Opterons, although signs still point to a clean sweep of the performance and power-efficiency contests by these new Xeons

he's probably also smoking a bit to much, yeah for sure it would be a clean sweep if AMD would only have Istanbul to counter 56xx series, duh the reason why intel is introducing the 56xx series sooner is because of the new AMD platform.....

lol saaya negative as allways, intel always cuts features in the lowerend xeons, look up the 550x vs the 55x0. And the new 56x0 series is a direct replacement of the 55x0 series.

They new 56x0 have the same price as the old 55x0.

5620=5520
5630=5530

The only thing that is a bit different is the 56x7, which is a new product, guess its a slavaged hexacore.

yep a clean update you get a 56xx with higher clock, cache and lower TDP (whatever that rating is worth these days) for the same price it is a decent path.
however if this is the asp of 1000+ units then intel margins against AMD are optimistic. I smell price drops soon
