Intel Projected to Release 8-core 'Nehalem-EX' Processor.Intel is eyeing to release a server carrying 8-core 'Nehalem-EX' Processor in the second half of 2009 which the company says can deliver a number of new technical advancements and boost enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company. See enterprise data and enterprise networking. performance. The Nehalem-EX processor features up to eight cores inside a single chip supporting 16 threads and 24Mb of cache, offers up to nine times the memory bandwidth of the previous-generation Intel Xeon 7400 platform. Additionally, the chip will also doubles the memory capacity with up to 16 memory slots per processor socket, and offer four high-bandwidth QuickPath Interconnect links. Nehalem-EX will provide scalability, from large-memory two-socket systems through eight-socket systems capable of processing 128 threads simultaneously without the need for third-party chips to "glue" the platform together. The company also said that Nehalem EX server processor will include a technology derived from its high-end Itanium chips such as Machine Check Architecture (MCA MCA in full Music Corporation of America Entertainment conglomerate.

Computer storage and transmission systems use a number of measures to provide data integrity, the lack of errors. ensuring reliability, availability and serviceability Reliability, Availability and Serviceability is a computer hardware engineering term. It originated from IBM to advertise the robustness of their mainframe computers. The concept is often known by the acronym RAS. (RAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Remote Access Service) A Windows NT/2000 Server feature that allows remote users access to the network from their Windows laptops or desktops via modem.
