Madison largely is the same design as the Itanium 2 but features more high-speed "cache" memory and faster clock speeds. Illuminata analyst Jonathan Eunice said in a recent report: "Given the long gestation and tepid performance of its first...
The new chip, code-named Madison, is similar to its Itanium 2 "McKinley" predecessor but is built with smaller circuitry that permits faster processing and more built-in high-speed "cache" memory. Intel's next Itanium processor is likely to run at...
Under the new schedule, Intel will release Madison, a souped-up version of the current Itanium 2 with 6MB of level three cache, this summer, according to Jason Waxman, marketing manager for enterprise processors at Intel.
As a result, Madison will have up to 6MB of level-three cache, twice that of the current Itanium 2, and run at 1.5GHz, faster than the 1GHz Itanium 2 currently on the market. Hewlett-Packard has launched a new version of its operating system for...
The Low Voltage Itanium 2 runs at 1GHz and comes with a 1.5MB cache, which is a reservoir of memory integrated into the processor for rapid data access. Although that's close to the speed of the Madison Itanium 2 chips released in June, those...
The second offering is a low voltage 1.0 GHz processor, again with 1.5 Mb L3 cache. Intel has announced two new Itanium 2 processors optimised for dual processor (DP) systems. The low power processor is looking to take Itanium 2 systems into the...
