Intel will launch a new dual-core chip in June

This event will be officially announced by Intel Developer Forum (IDF) next week. The products to be released this time are dual-core Xeon chips for servers - codenamed Dempsey and Woodcrest - to replace the Paxville chips currently on the market.

Intel spokesman Scott McLaughlin said: "At this year's IDF forum we will officially announce Intel will provide Dempsey chips in the first quarter and Woodcrest chips in the second half of this year."

According to the developer, the new chip category will help computer manufacturers to market smaller and cooler systems.

In addition, the new microprocessor category can improve the system speed because they allow users to run parallel applications instead of having to queue in order for their applications to be the same as before. , Paul Miller, vice president of marketing for standard Industrial Server products and HP's BladeSystem server, said.

" The speed of microprocessors will no longer be calculated in megahertz, but by the number of integrated cores on it. Most applications today have multipurpose applications to take full advantage of this ability ," Miller affirmed.

One of the reasons why the market is so eager to wait for Intel's new generation of chips is because Paxville chip technology has disappointed users. According to Gordon Haff, Intel quickly designed the chip to compete only with rival AMD.

" In other words, without AMD, the Paxville DP chip didn't come out. Intel's carefully designed Dempsey and Woodcrest chips are really dual-core chips ," Gordon said.
