The processors are drop-in compatible with existing Intel dual processor platforms that have been in the market since 2006. The Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5400 Series consists of the new X5492, X5470 and L5430 processors, the fastest of which boasts a clock speed of 3.4GHz. The low voltage version uses only 50 watts of power or just 12.5 watts per core. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor X5270 runs as low as 80 watts with frequencies as high as 3.5 GHz. Intel said much of the energy efficiency these products provide comes from its reinvented transistors that use a Hafnium-based high-k metal gate formula. Systems vendors supporting these new processors include Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gigabyte, HP, IBM, Microstar, NEC, Quanta, Rackable Systems Inc., Sun Microsystems, Supermicro, Tyan and Verari Systems, the company noted. The Santa Clara, California-based provider of microprocessor products said that the new 5400 series processors are available now, while the X5270 will be available this fall. INTC rose $0.09 or 0.44% and closed Friday's regular trading session at $20.61. Copyright(c) 2008 RealTimeTraders.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved
