While Quad Core Intel Xeon 5300, addresses the server platforms, Intel Core-2 Extreme processors are targeted at the desktops. Both the versions have been built with four computing ‘brains’ inside a single microprocessor.

Addressing the media after launching the processors here, Ramamurthy Sivakumar, country manager, Intel Technology India, said that the launch of the Quad Core microprocessors would bring new possibilities for science, entertainment and business segments.

“The new processors have been built-to-suit the existing industry standards of computer infrastructure and does not require any further enhancement as for the hardware goes,” he said.

Ramkumar said that the two microprocessors now at 65 nanometers, would bring down the power consumption and the next step would be to bring the size to 45 nanometers. “Processors built with smaller geometric will reduce the wattage consumed,” he said.

Part of the work involved in getting the chips ready for the global market was undertaken at the Digital Enterprise Group (DEG) at Intel India Development Centre (IIDC) in Bangalore, India.

The DEG undertook significant work related to post-silicon functional validation, which involves the crucial decision of whether the product is ready to launch to the markets or not.
