Pentium (r) II Xeon (tm)
October 6, 1998 - Today, the corporation
Intel has announced a very high-speed
version of the processor Pentium (r) II -
# Xeon (tm) with a frequency of 450
- # MHz, designed for dvuhproZ # tsessornyh (dual) servers
W #, and workstations. As expected,
# Appearance of the new model will give but
new impetus to marching in full swing
the process of adopting a broad
workstations and servers based on CPU Pentium II Xeon. Numerous
users of dual-processor (dual) servers and workstations
currently now moving to a system processor equipped with
Pentium II Xeon, to work with demanding applications,
which are intended to address the most
important tasks.
Already this week, Intel plans to begin deliveries of the
Pentium II Xeon 450 MHz, and some of the largest manufacturers
of computer systems, including Compaq, Dell, Fijutsu, Gateway,
HP, IBM, Intergraph, NEC, Siemens Nixdorf (SNI) and UMAX,
intends to begin implementation of dual servers and
workstations based on the processor Pentium II Xeon 450 MHz
before the end of this month. "The rapid build-performance
servers and workstations, occurs as a result of continuous
improvement processor technology, Intel, leads to a rapid
expansion of this market segment, - said Olivier Riviere
(Olivier Riviere), marketing manager of Intel's implementation
products for workstations in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The first version of the Pentium II Xeon processors help
Intel architecture to gain popularity
Among the new categories of consumers, and presented today
Pentium II processor Xeon processors with 450 MHz will give a
This trend further accelerated. "As
and other members of the family of processors Pentium II Xeon,
a new model for 450 MHz provides the highest level of
performance in the industry due to increased capacity and speed
cache memory Level 2 (L2), the possibility of installing
multiple processors, as well as the availability of the system
bus clocked at 100 MHz. The combination of high performance
processor Pentium II Xeon system with scalable displays the
ratio "price / performance" to a level unmatched in the market
of dual servers and workstations. Chipset 440GX AGPset for
servers and workstations, providing an opportunity
install one or two processors, supports up to 2 GB of system
memory and a fast graphics bus AGP.Protsessor Pentium II Xeon
with 450 MHz and keshpamyatyu Level 2 512 KB shipments of 1.000
units at a price 824 U.S. dollar per piece. Issue Pentium II
Xeon processor with a clock speed of 450 MHz for the quad
server is scheduled at the beginning of 1999.
Product Features
Pentium II Xeon processor has a fast cache memory, a large
volume, due to which provide high speed transmission of data
through the processor core. C On the other hand, such a
powerful management features such as heat protection, control
and correction of errors, the control of functional redundancy
and system management bus provide maximum system reliability
and reduce their idle time. High performance with
prilozheniyami.Protsessor Pentium II Xeon has several features
that make it most suitable for working with applications for
servers and workstations medium level and above:
* Maximum performance when working with graphics, engineering
and financial applications, applications, CAD, and for image
processing on graphics workstations;
* The degree of performance, reliability and manageability when
dealing with critical server applications meet the requirements
of corporate level; * Built-in support for multi-
calculations (up to eight processors), as well as support an
even larger number of processors using these cluster technology
a NUMA architecture and VI.Rasshirennaya support 36-bit memory
access, that exceeds 4GB.
Processors Intel Pentium II Xeon with clock frequencies of
450 and 400 MHz provides the highest performance Intel
processors to run applications under running modern operating
systems such as Windows NT for Workstations, Windows NT for
Servers, NetWare and UNIX.
Processor Intel (r) Pentium (r) II Xeon
(Tm) with a 450 MHz output
price / performance of Intel processors to new levels
specialized technical computing
across the enterprise. This processor is the second
representative of a new family of trade marks Intel, which was
designed specifically for memory configurations needed for the
most demanding applications for servers workstations and
mid-level and above. In the Pentium II Xeon processor combined
several key elements: architectural compatibility with previous
generations of processors Intel; Dynamic Execution and Dual
Independent Bus architecture, typical of processors Pentium II,
as well as certain technological innovations. The totality of
these elements extends the capabilities of monitoring and
managing servers. With their help, the owners of systems can
create a more stable computing environment, reduce downtime
systems and ensure the optimum configuration and operation of
servers.
Pentium II Xeon processor provides new features that provide
high system performance when working with
powerful applications. Moreover, its architecture has a high
potential for scalability and manageability. * The processor
has a cache of second level volume 512KB or 1MB: 450 MHz -
512K; 400 MHz - 512KB, 1MB. Cache - memory of the second
level is clocked at CPU
core (400 or 450 MHz), allowing the processor gets faster
access to extremely high volume of data; * Communication with
other subsystems occurs on a 100-MHz system bus that supports
multiple transaction. This Advanced technology allows subsystems
more efficient use of the exclusive power of the processor;
* Supported by addressing and caching
Up to 64 GB of RAM. Memory such
amount sufficient to maintain high
speed of the most powerful and sophisticated
applications;
* The system bus supports multiple external transactions, which
leads to the release of bandwidth for use by other
protsessami.Ona also provides support for up to eight
processors. Thus, opening up opportunities for
producing low-cost four-and eight-processor, with considerably
more high power when dealing with multi-tasking operating
system and multithreaded applications; * PSE36 (Support 36-bit
access memory) allows the OS to work with operational
memory, that exceeds 4GB. This
increases the performance of systems with
working with applications that operate in particular large
amounts of data.
Other features:
* Developed by Intel case with
Unilateral pin (SEC)
allows processors on a massive scale, provides increased
resistance to external influences and sets a standard form
factor for future generations of Intel Pentium II Xeon;
* Support for clusters (groups unite
several four-processor servers) makes it possible to scale the
solutions to processor-based Pentium II Xeon, in accordance
with the needs of the company.
