frankie's Journal: Woodcrest shipped yesterday

from the News-for-Nerds-Stuff-that-Matters dept.

As promised, Intel started shipping the Dual-Core Xeon 51xx series CPUs (aka Woodcrest) yesterday . This is the first release of their new "Intel Core" 64-bit microarchitecture with greatly improved performance and efficiency. As we all have heard many times already, this will power the Macintel Xserve and probably the MacMac Pro.

But you didn't hear it yesterday. At least not on Slashdot.
