Intel is set to unveil a range of new innovations, including a new two-billion transistor, quad-core Itanium microprocessor codenamed Tukwila, at the International Solid State Circuits Conference this week.
Intel has announced this week its new line of Itanium chips for high-end server systems, highlighting three new features.
Intel plans to increase the performance of individual cores in the Itanium processor, and not just increase the number of cores to it, according to an Intel engineer.
Intel's "Tukwila" processor will be a significant departure from earlier Itanium models, but bigger changes will come with its sequel, "Poulson."
The writing was on the wall for Dell and Itanium once Intel started aiming the processor at large multiprocessor systems.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Intel's Pat Gelsinger on the future of Itanium, technology in the developing world and the one-chip blade server of tomorrow.
The move to Itanium has meant a rocky road for Hewlett-Packard's high-end server group. But the man leading the company's transition to the Intel chip believes the worst potholes are in the rear-view mirror.
