Thread: Intel's Xeon demonstrates Its material in 7 motherboard.

Opteron-basedmachine, minus the included boost of valuable DDR2 memory, havetardily start to gnaw at the Xeon computer architecture hegemony inthe workstation market. In AMD's Opteron 250 vs. Intel's Xeon 3.6 GHzin a Workstation Duel of the Elite , we elaborated how the Opteron'soperation defended that of the Xeon. But that was in September.

Meanwhile,Intel hasn't remained sitting yet, and has skillfully vamped its Xeonarchitecture. As a answer, the present chipset named E7525 has notrouble outclassing the present Opteron chipsets VIA K8T800 Pro andAMD 8000. As the PCI Express enabled edition from NVIDIA and VIA willassist to bring Opteron machine back into the premier league, theywill not view introduce earlier next year.





ConcerningXeon, ambitious users yet today can pick cpu board based on Intel's875P chipset. This twist yet is able to profit from its fast DualDDR400 memory port, as the E7525 commonly requires to live with DualDDR2-400. The latter may be quicker at higher memory clock speeds,but miss ground at conventional speeds due to unfavorable latencies.Also, E7525 needs showed memory, as 875P can be equipped withunbuffered DIMMs, but up to a maximul of 4 GB only.
