Noctua NH-U12DX Xeon Heatsink: Quite infrequently do we look at cooling products at Phoronix, but when something interesting comes along, we certainly snatch up the opportunity to look at something new and unique. An example of this is with the Noctua NH-U12DX, which is a heatsink designed for Intel's Xeon processors, but it does not share many traits with most workstation/server heatsinks.
Intel 50 Watt Quad-Core Xeons: Intel has today announced new quad-core Xeon processors that are a miracle at 50 Watts! These new energy efficient processors dramatically reduce the power consumption of the original Xeon 5300 Clovertown processors. These new Xeon processors are the Intel L5320 and L5310.
Intel Xeon 5300 Clovertown: On November 2, 2006 the embargo for Intel's Core 2 Extreme Quad QX6700 was lifted which resulted in a slurry of reviews covering this flagship desktop processor. However, this morning happens to be an important date for Supercomputing 2006 and it serves as yet another milestone for Intel Corporation.
Intel Xeon 5300 Series Launches: Intel is today launching the Xeon 5300 series (codename: Clovertown). These are some beautiful processors that can certainly boast a competitive edge in the server/workstation environment. We have already had our hands on these processors for a while and our performance preview can be found here.
Intel Xeon 7100 Tulsa Launches: Intel has unveiled eight new Xeon 7100 series "Tulsa" processors.
