Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Chipmaker Intel Corporation today unveiled five new products in the Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 Processor 9000 series. Previously codenamed “Montecito,” the new processors are designed for high-end computing platforms. According to Intel, the new processor range doubles the performance and lowers energy requirements, improving performance per watt by 2.5 times compared to existing, single-core versions.
The flagship 9050 model features two complete processing cores and
nearly triples the cache or memory reservoir versus Intel’s previous
generation. It also can execute four instructions or threads per
processor using Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology.
“Intel remains focused on removing the proprietary shackles that remain
in the high-end of the server market segment, and with Dual-Core
Itanium 2 processors we are delivering unprecedented IT freedom with a
product that excels in performance, reliability and improved energy
efficiency,” said Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general
manager, Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group. “The broad system and
software support for Itanium 2 processors enables CIOs to move away
from aging and expensive legacy systems and instead direct those funds
toward standard-based computing and business innovation.
Dual-core Itanium 2-based systems target the most compute intensive
areas, such as business analytics, large data warehouses and HPC areas.
“Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the new
dual-core, multi-threaded Itanium 2 processor will provide exceptional
performance, scalability and reliability to enterprise customers with
database workloads and line of business applications,” said Bob Muglia,
senior vice president of the Server and Tools Business at Microsoft.
“Microsoft is resolute in its support of the Itanium architecture,
today and in the future.”
Pricing and availability
Intel dual- and single-core Itanium 2 processors are shipping today

year.
