Intel to borrow from laptops for server chips
Intel's Pentium M architecture has won acclaim from both reviewers and the buying public for its high performance and efficient architecture. Intel is taking some of the techniques used to make its mobile processors great and is applying them to its server chips:
A Xeon chip for blade servers due in the first half of 2006 derives from the Pentium M family, the company's notebook chip family, said Stephen Thorne, marketing manager of the server platform group at Intel. Code-named Sossaman, the chip puts out a maximum of 31 watts, fairly low for server chips, which can boast thermal ceilings of 110 watts.
