Intel Launches 10-Core Xeon Chips -- InformationWeek Based on the 32-nanometer Westmere EX architecture, the Xeon E7 family comprises 18 processors with up to 10 cores for two-, four-, and eight-socket servers. Intel has introduced a more powerful family of Xeon processors with up to 10 cores, giving Windows and Linux computer makers the muscle needed to continue luring customers away from manufacturers of Unix servers running RISC processors. The Xeon E7 family, consisting of the 8800, 4800, and 2800 series, forms the top end of the brand, with the E5 and the E3 families comprising the midrange and entry-level positions. Introduced Tuesday, the E7 is based on the 32-nanometer Westmere EX architecture, which is the generational successor of Nehalem EX. Intel introduced a total of 18 processors with up to 10 cores for two-, four-, and eight-socket servers. The chips provide up to 40% higher system-level performance than the Nehalem EX architecture, which has as many as eight cores. More Insights
