It will allow a high-speed data path between a CPU and peripherals used for graphics, video, SCSI, LAN and other functions. A group of industry heavyweights is putting its support behind Mini PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect), a proposed...
The operating system, which runs on HP's PA-RISC and Intel Itanium processors, will run native Linux applications on 64-bit Itanium servers without recompiling, when they become available. According to Shannon, Compaq recently announced a slew of...
With the advent of server processors like Digital's Alpha and Intel's PCI internal bus technology in the early nineties, the network began to bottleneck at the hub, and sharing 10Mbps on an Ethernet LAN was simply not an option anymore.
The 1.4 GHz processor is claimed to offer better $/Flops than RISC alternatives available in the technical computing space. It is interesting to note that in the launch material Intel explicitly mentions the potential use of servers built using...
Customers will be encouraged to gradually move away from the PA-RISC and Alpha-based products, which will be sold until 2006 and supported until 2011. Today's announcement sees new entry-level 64-bit Itanium Integrity servers and a new line of...
Morgan Stanley analyst Ellen Tseng said in a newsletter to investors: "Between SiS and Via, they [Intel] prefer SiS chipsets for the Intel CPU platform given the better graphic quality. Intel's shift toward higher-performance chipsets may indicate...
