Intel Next–Generation Enterprise Platforms

Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise Group, today showed how Intel will deliver superior computing performance and energy efficiency this year while reducing the total cost of IT ownership.

“2006 marks a year of transitions for Intel –– a transition to a new process technology and a powerful new microarchitecture, along with the delivery of new platforms solving tough problems for our customers,” said Gelsinger. “This year we have a line–up of enterprise platforms and technologies that will inspire developers with opportunities and excite IT managers with critical capabilities to manage costs and run their business.”

At the center of Intel’s efforts is a commitment to energy–efficient performance based on a next–generation microarchitecture reviewed earlier in the day by Intel Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner. These multi–core products designed with the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture will enable unique designs and fuel the industry’s most sophisticated office PCs. It will also help IT managers increase responsiveness and productivity while at the same time reducing real–estate and electricity burdens companies face as server data centers grow.

By the end of 2006, Intel Core microarchitecture will be at the heart of PC and server platforms. Noting its remarkable gains in performance for desktop PCs, Gelsinger showcased Conroe, a dual–core processor that can reduce power consumption by 40 percent while delivering greater than 40 percent improvements in computing performance¹.
