Intel is aiming new energy-efficient Itanium 2 processors at mainstream, high-density servers and high-performance applications with two lower-cost Itanium designs. The Santa Clara, California-based chip manufacturer, which spurred optimism with its updated third-quarter revenue predictions last week, said the new chips have already begun shipping in server systems from HP, IBM and others. While technically close to the Itanium family of processors, the two new chips have lower clock speeds and cache sizes to facilitate their use in rack-mounted or blade-type environments.
