Blade Watch

Intel has taken the wraps off of a new, low-power, dual-core Xeon chip for blade servers, the first of three new server chips it will roll out in coming weeks.

The chip maker on March 12 said it had begun shipping its Xeon LV chip. The Xeon LV is Intel’s first blade server-oriented processor to offer dual-cores. But it also promises to be stingy on power, meeting the needs of the most energy-conscious customers.

The company derived it from its Core processor family, sometimes referred to by the code-name Yonah, which includes single-core Core Solo and dual-core Core Duo notebook processors.

Very cool, the low power Xeon will help with the energy footprint of the blade, it will be interesting to see how they perform, considering that with lower voltage processors, we can deploy more blades for similar overall performance.
