New high performance 800 MHz Xeon processor from Intel

Sanat Clara 13 Jan 00 Intel Corporation today introduced a powerful Pentium III Xeon processor at 800 MHz targeting the rapidly growing segments for workstations and "front-end" servers -- a class of single- and dual-processor Internet servers for e-business functions such as Web site hosting and e-commerce authentication.

Like other members of the Pentium III Xeon processor family, the new 800 MHz version is designed to deliver the scalability, headroom and availability features needed in front-end Internet commerce servers and general-purpose servers, at affordable prices.

The processor is based on Intel's advanced 0.18-micron process technology, and features a 256 Kbyte Advanced Transfer Cache memory with Advanced System Buffering, which boost performance by placing a full-speed level-two cache memory directly on the processor die and increasing the width of the data pathway to the processor. The processor also offers a 133 MHz system bus and on-cartridge voltage management for increased system reliability.

Later this year, Intel plans to expand the product line with additional speed enhancements and higher cache options.

Workstation Processors

The Pentium III Xeon processor at 800 MHz gives workstation users the power and performance to manage increasingly complex projects, reduce design time and work more efficiently.
