Kirk Skaugen, general manager of Intel’s Server Platform Group, opened his statements with “We were originally in the Q1’08 timeframe. Today I’m happy to announce to report for the first time that our server 45nm Xeon products based on the Penryn core will be available into production for the second half of 2007.”
This might prove to be good news for everyone. The sooner we see 45nm server CPUs, the sooner we should be seeing the desktop equivalent. It’s still up in the air whether or not 45nm will be far superior over our current 65nm, but at least the power draw will be improved.
