Intel introduces 3.0ghz Xeon Processor and Drops The Pentium
Intel has officially released a new Xeon server processor to combat AMD’s Barcelona Opteron processor range, due to be released next month. Intel has also release a low voltage version of the chip which is clocked at 2.0ghz, consuming only 50 watts compared to the 3.0ghz version that eats 120 watts.
And as the release of Intel’s Penryn processor is less than a year away, the company has announced the phasing out of all pentium processors. This will mean that no more single core processors will be in production from intel, meaning that in three years time, a celerons and pentuims will be rare.

Then which will win out, the future Penryn processor, or the AMD’s Phenom and Barcelona Operton?

What do you think?
