Earlier today, at a developer’s forum in Taipei, Taiwan, chipmaker Intel disclosed that it has developed two new, low-priced Itanium processors targeted toward the server market. Servers employing the new processors will be about 28 percent lower in price and up to 25 percent faster than earlier dual-processor Itanium 2-based servers, the company said. A 1.4-GHz version of the processor with 3 MB of Level 3 cache is available now, while the faster, 1.6-GHz version with the same amount of cache will be available in May.
