Good Afternoon All,


Intel just held a press conference in which the company spoke about its
next-generation server processor, currently code-named Nehalem-EX. As its
name suggests, the Nehalem-EX is based on the Nehalem microarchitecture
which debuted with Xeon 5500 and Core i7 series processors. The Nehalem-EX
series however, will be decidedly more high-end in terms of specifications
and performance. Whereas current Xeon 5500 series processors feature four
execution cores per CPU with support for up to eight threads through Intel's
Hyper-Threading technology, the Nehalem-EX series will be outfitted with up
to eight execution cores per chip with support for up to sixteen threads,
and 24MB of cache. In addition, Nehalem-EX will also sport features carried
over from the Itanium line, like Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery.
