Hewlett-Packard on Thursday upgraded its lineup of multi-processor based servers with Intel’s latest 7300 series quad-core Xeon processors.

The upgrades include the rack-based ProLiant DL580 G5 and the ProLiant BL680c G5, which is HP’s first four-processor blade server, «www.hp.com»

Among the enhancements to the DL580 G5 is double the memory capacity of its predecessor, making the new product better equipped for handling virtualization. The BL680c G5 blade also has larger memory capacity for the same purpose.

Very cool, it will be interesting to see if the other vendors follow suit, and what benefits in terms of performance or even performance per watt these new generation of Intel processors bring.
