The next generation of Xeon server processors will be introduced on
May 26th, according to an early Intel announcement. The Nehalem-EX
series is based on the same platform as Intel's Core i7 chips, but is
explicitly intended for high-end server use. Each processor
incorporates eight cores, and can be used in multi-socket
configurations. New power gates are said to reduce energy consumption,
and 16 threads can be calculated simultaneously.
