New Xeon processor-based platform

Intel has announced the launch of a new Xeon processor-based platform for
workstations, which allows the processor to run both 64-bit and 32-bit. It
includes the E7525 chipset, providing users with the option of switching between
various modes such as legacy (32/32), compatibility (64/32) and 64-bit (64/64).

The new processor ups the system performance by 30 percent over previous
generations. Power consumption and total cost of ownership is also reduced
considerably.

Code-named Nocona, the new processor is equipped with enhancements such as
extended memory 64 technology, DDR2 memory, a faster 800 MHz bus and PCI Express
for better graphics performance. The chip incorporates nanometer and
hyperthreading technologies. The workstations are expected to benefit users
across a range of functions such as digital film making, financial and
scientific data modeling and design automation.

The new Xeon platform for servers would be launched in two months.
