Intel began shipping the new processors Intel Xeon Series C5500/C3500, which will be used in the field of communications, networks of embedded systems and servers for data storage. Line of processors, codenamed "Jasper Forest, works in tandem with Intel 3420 and specially designed to provide high compute density and integration.

For the first time Intel has released a processor with PCI Express (PCIe), which has a capacity of 1 Gb / sec. Intel has also built-in support functions of the input / output processor Xeon, which, according to the manufacturer, will help to increase the density of storage systems and communications, such as IPTV, video on demand, VoIP, NAS, SAN, etc. Seth Bobroff (Seth Bobroff), general manager, Intel Server Platforms Group, believes that the integration of PCIe and key storage functions such as support for RAID and high availability features allow you to create a wide range of systems with a common architecture and thermal parameters.

Intel said that C3500/C5500 processors provide the performance of chips Intel architecture Nehalem, but reduce energy consumption compared with 27W processors Intel Xeon 5500 series, used in today's servers. "With the advent of dual-chip solutions Intel Xeon Intel company provides customers with improved processors to meet the needs of the rapidly changing communication environment", ─ believes Skuler Rose (Rose Schooler), general manager, Infrastructure Processor Division of Intel Corporation. ─ "In segments of communications and embedded systems requires computing devices with higher density.
