Intel rolls 'Tulsa' processors for servers: Page 2 of 2

Servers based on the Dual-Core Xeon 7100 series processors are expected to be available from more than 40 system manufacturers. Prices for the processors range from $856 for the 2.6-GHz chip to $1,980 for the 3.4-GHz part.

Intel is expanding its efforts on the server space for good reason. For some time, the chip giant has been losing market share in the server space to Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

To reverse its misfortunes, Intel recently rolled out its new Woodcrest processor line, based on the Core 2 Duo architecture. The Woodcrest processors are apparently for dual-processor servers, while the Tulsa chips are for high-end systems.

Last month, Intel rolled out 10 microprocessors, including its next-generation, codenamed Conroe and Merom chips for desktops and notebooks, respectively.
