SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – Intel Corp. is calling its Xeon 5500 processor
series, announced Monday [Mar-30], the most significant server launch
since its Pentium Pro processor in well over a decade, with the
innovation not just focused on the chipset core, but the platform as a
whole.

Formerly codenamed Nehalem-EP, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip
manufacturer’s Xeon 5500 series offers several technologies designed
to enable a computing environment that is scalable, dynamic,
virtualized, energy efficient and flexible, especially given the
today’s constrained IT budgets
