New Penryn-based quad and dual-core Xeon UPs to join the lineup in 2008
Last year with the introduction of Conroe, Intel began positioning dual-core Xeon 3000 series processors for single processor servers. Intel also launched quad-core Xeon 3200 series processors based on Kentsfield as well. The Xeon 3000 and 3200 series processors were essentially identical to the Core 2 Duo brethren.
Intel plans to continue selling Xeon processors based on desktop counterparts with the upcoming Penryn-familyYorkfield and Wolfdale cores. Penryn-family LGA775 Xeon processors will carry the 3300 and 3100 sequence for quad-core and dual-core processors, respectively.
Xeon 3300 and 3100 series processors will drop into the existing Garlow, powered by Intel’s 3200 server chipset, platforms. Despite naming the upcoming Yorkfield and Wolfdale based Xeons, Intel roadmaps do not reveal any further details of the upcoming models. However, Intel does not plan to release the Xeon 3300 and 3100 series until Q1’2008.
For entry-level one-socket servers, Intel has the Xeon 3300 and 3100 series on Garlow as the platform of choice through 2008. Intel does not have any plans to move its entry-level single processor platforms to Nehalem within 2008.
Intel will not position Xeon 3300 and 3100 series processors for its single processor Garlow WS workstation platform. Instead, Intel continues to position Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors paired with the X38 Express for workstation duties.
