Intel launched two new Xeon quad-core chips

Intel on March 3 launched two new quad-core chips from Clovertown Quad-core Xeon series designed specifically for embedded applications.

Both 2.0GHz E5335 and 2.33GHz E5345 processors have 8MB of cache and support the 1,333MHz system bandwidth that meets the high performance requirements of embedded applications.

Speaking at the launch of two new quad-core Xeon chips at the recently held Embedded System Conference in San Jose (USA), Mr. Doug Davis - vice president and chief executive officer of Intel's embedded and communications division - Claiming two new processor chips are the perfect choice for embedded platforms.

The processing power of quad-core chips will be fully revealed when it is used to process a series of computerized X-ray images of up to 16GB each or run large data analysis applications .

At this Embedded System Conference Intel's main competitor, AMD, also launched a new embedded chip specifically for high-end graphics tasks.

Also yesterday Intel announced that it is currently conducting system development research on SOC chip (system-on-chip) specifically for low-power embedded applications such as photo printing. Energy consumption is only about 15 to 75 watts. SOC will combine the main processor chip with memory controller and I / O control. Intel has not announced the official launch date of the SOC product.

E5335 and E5345 chips all cost $ 690 if purchased with 1,000 products.
