Will Intel Get Its Groove Back with ‘Woodcrest’?

Server makers are lining up a host of new and enhanced systems armed with Intel’s new ‘Woodcrest’ Xeon processor, a chip built on a new architecture that promises better performance coupled with greater energy efficiency. Intel initially said the Xeon 5100 family – based on Intel’s new Core microarchitecture – would be released in the third quarter. However, earlier this month the giant chip maker pushed up the date to June 26 in an attempt to take back momentum from rival AMD. Ars’ Hannibal gives his view on the new processors.
