InformationWeek > Intel Itanium Chips > Intel Takes The Heat Off Its Chips > February 7, 2005: "Intel will publish the details of Foxton in a paper it's presenting at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference this week in San Francisco. It will also describe power-saving technology called demand-based switching that works with Windows to reduce energy consumption when a server isn't stressed. Both technologies will debut when Intel releases its next-generation Itanium chip, code-named Montecito, scheduled for release in the fourth quarter"

Euro AMD Opteron server demand slows | The Register: "Context expects Opteron-based servers to take under one percentage point of x86 server market share in Europe during Q4 2004. Small that may be, but the platform is now regularly appearing on the monthly sales charts, showing sufficient demand to lift the platform out of the 'purchase a few machines for evaluation' stage."

In-Stat/MDR - Processor Watch: "The facts are these: Moore�s law is a narrow observation of a general manufacturing trend, not a law of physics; it wasn�t clearly defined in the first place; its definition has been significantly changed over the years, both by its author and by trespassers, to make it better fit the actual data; and past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Intel Paxville, Blackford, Dempsey meet Diamond Peak and Sunrise Lake

Intel Paxville, Blackford, Dempsey meet Diamond Peak and Sunrise Lake: "Here are some codenames to match Swinburne's wild west. Dempsey, a dual core server chip, will use the Blackford and Blackford VS chipsets with ESB-2, and as well as Intel Active Server, it will use Diamond Peak technology and Sunrise Lake. These technologies are promised for the first quarter of 2006. That's also the timeline for the Paxville dual core processor, and for the Greencreek chipset using ESB-2 as well. Greencreek will have X16 PCI Express graphics support, and give FBD memory capabilities, and better reliability and management features, quoth Intel.
But before we reach the heights of dual core technology, some earlier technology and price cuts are on the way for 2005.
This isn't high faluting stuff, but have been promised for some time and are now close to release.
Cranford, which uses the Twin Castle chipset, is still slated for the first quarter of 2005, and will likely have 1MB of level two cache and be introduced at 3.66GHz. Intel hasn't quite made up its mind what clock speed the Potomac chip, with 8MB of level three cache will launch at, but that's still slated for the second quarter of next year. As the year progresses, Intel will ramp it up."

Microsoft nears release of 64-bit Windows | CNET News.com

Microsoft nears release of 64-bit Windows | CNET News.com: "The company said it has reached the 'release candidate' stage for Service Pack 1 of Windows Server 2003. Microsoft is also at a similar point with several 64-bit Windows versions that use the same code base, including Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Microsoft reiterated that all three products are slated for final release in the first half of next year, with a second release candidate in between.
A second update for Windows Server 2003, known as R2, is also planned for next year. Microsoft is shooting for a private beta of that release later this month, with a goal of having about 1,000 testers. The company said it hopes to release a public beta of R2 in the first half of next year, with the final release some time in the second half of the year. "
