http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/info/x/x3950m2/index.html

When was the last time you were introduced to technology that really made a difference in how your data center operates? In how your IT staff operates? What about new technology that made a substantial difference in lowering your IT costs while boosting performance? The question always remains how to do more with less. And scalable server solutions are more and more becoming the answer.

Allow us to introduce you to the newest member of the IBM System x enterprise-server family. A powerhouse of a server, the IBM System x3950 M2 uses the latest quad-core Intel® Xeon™ 7300 Series MP processors in its unique chipset to deliver extraordinary performance while maintaining best-in-class x86 reliability. System x3950 M2 configurations are built from four processor, 4U building blocks allowing you to deploy 16 to 64 cores either initially or later as your business growth demands.

I was checking out the specs of the IBM System X series servers, in particular to do with the quad core Intel processors. This page on the IBM site has got a lot of detail on their new x3950M2 which does look cool, and includes options for energy efficiency, do check out the pdf’s and the animation - very cool.
