Since this chip is meant for businesses, it had to go through a more stringent quality control and testing process. Containing 1.9 billion transistors with 16 MB shared L3 cache and based on the latest 45 nm High-K fabrication process, this chip was also tested by Intel's Bangalore laboratories to ensure that it is compatible with most of the existing and forthcoming software.
Being a server processor, Intel's Xeon 7400 will be used in the high-end segment of the global server market. Codenamed "Dunnington", it is designed to handle heavy workloads typically associated with memory intensive business applications like RDBMS, enterprise resource planning programs, etc. It will find application in servers used at places like the stock markets, investment banks, etc.
According to IDC research company, this industry has generated total sales of $13.9 billion in the second quarter ending June. The president of Intel India, Praveen Vishakantaiah said "It's not just services and software that India is known for but this shows you also can do this kind of complex research and development and product design here in India" Known in the west more for its outsourcing and software services, this development will inform the western countries that India is no less in the hardware designing and development field either.
India-developed Intel processor
Intel launched the first microprocessor that has been almost completely developed at its Bangalore design centre yesterday. This is a landmark in the computer hardware research and development scene in India. This is the same six-core Xeon 7400 Series processor about which we had reported here
Tom Kilroy, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, displays a wafer from Intel's new Xeon 7400 Processor family, formerly code-named Dunnington, Monday, September 15, 2008, at a news conference in San Francisco.
