Intel plans to ship its first Xeon processors based on a new dual-core architecture in 2006, company officials said this week, a disclosure that surprised industry observers who had expected the chips to appear in 2005.
Last month, Intel President and Chief Operating Officer Paul Otellini seemed to indicate that the company planned to release its first dual-core Xeon next year. "In 2005, Intel will ship dual-core products into every one of our key segments of the marketplace: Desktop, servers, and mobile products in production next year," he said, speaking at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. However, Otellini's remarks did not refer to the company's Xeon plans, says Mike Houlihan, an Intel spokesperson. "There's definitely no schedule change," he says. "We just hadn't disclosed a schedule previously." Intel has been "fairly vague" about the dual-core Xeon product's delivery date, partly in response to a July memo from Intel Chief Executive Officer Craig Barrett, calling on the company to change its methods and improve the way it brings products to market, says Dean McCarron, principal analyst with Mercury Research in Cave Creek, Arizona. Product delays throughout the year have plagued Intel.
The way Intel has been changing their release schedule, who is to believe anything Intel says at this point? -KF

    There are Rumors that this will also be a new 32/64bit Core with a built in Memory Controller like the Athlon 64

    Sok. AMD is expected to have dual core A64s in the middle of 2005, as the 939 package was designed to accomodate it from the beginning.

    Intel's going to lose another race. Bet on it.
