Intel has been talking about Dunnington, its Penryn-based 6-core server CPU since early this year and next month, the talk will (finally) be over and the walk will kick in. The first Dunnington processors, the Xeon X7460 will be available in servers from September and, according to its maker, it has already proven its worth by breaking a few world records with a 8-socket IBM 3950 M2 server becoming the first platform to pass the 1 million tpmC milestone on the TPC-C benchmark.
The 1.9 billion transistor-boasting Xeon X7460 will probably have a frequency of 2.53 GHz and will feature 3 MB of L2 cache per two cores and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Pricing remains unknown.
