Intel Ships 1 Million Chipsets for Servers, Workstations in under 15 Months.Business Editors SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 2003 Important Milestone Exemplifies Success of Intel Enterprise Building Block Program Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking has shipped 1 million chipsets for enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company. See enterprise data and enterprise networking. since introducing its new generation of chipsets for servers and workstations in early 2002. This chipset family chiefly targets the Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor, and began with the Intel(R) E7500 chipset for two-way server systems. The company will soon add support for new technologies such as PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (1) and double data-rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) memory. A chipset consists of one or more silicon chips that serve as a computer's central nervous system, transmitting signals from the computer's "brain" -- the microprocessor -- to the rest of the system. In late 2002, Intel extended its enterprise chipset offerings with new workstation chipsets: the Intel(R) E7205 chipset (for entry-level Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4-based workstations) and the Intel(R) E7505 (for Intel Xeon-based workstations). At that time, the Intel(R) E7501 chipset was also introduced for Intel Xeon processor-based servers with a 533 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. system bus. "This is a significant milestone for Intel, and attests to the accelerating acceptance of Intel enterprise chipsets as the choice for original equipment manufacturers and system builders around the world," said Tom Macdonald, general manager, Advanced Components Division, Intel Enterprise Platforms Group. "These products give our customers the peace of mind of knowing they have been fully validated with Intel processors while also delivering innovative technologies to enhance reliability, scalability and performance." Intel also produces the Intel(R) E8870 chipset for Intel(R) Itanium(R)-based servers. The scaleable architecture of the E8870 chipset allows manufacturers to design dual- and multi-processor server systems. More Products, New Technologies Coming Intel this fall will introduce a new enterprise chipset, code-named "Canterwood-ES," for uni-processor Intel Pentium 4-based server systems. Canterwood-ES, which will include PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output expansion capability, shares many of the features and benefits of the Intel(R) 875P chipset, which was introduced in April. In 2004, Intel will introduce new chipsets for Intel Xeon processor MP-based servers (code-named "Twin Castle") as well as two-way Intel Xeon processor-based servers (code-named "Lindenhurst"). These are expected to be the industry's first chipsets to incorporate PCI Express and DDR2 memory technology. PCI Express is a high-speed, general-purpose, serial point-to-point I/O interconnect for computing and communications platforms. DDR2 is the next generation of memory technology for all computing segments with higher data rates, increased peak bandwidth and improved thermals. Intel, the world's largest chipmaker chip·mak·er n.
