Intel Corp., the world’s leading supplier of microprocessors and platforms for servers, is set to very quickly transit its dual-processor platform to the new architecture named Core. Already in the Q3 the volume of dual-processor server platforms based on the code-named Woodcrest processors will get close to the 50% mark, according to slides that Intel recently demonstrated at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) Taipei.

Intel’s code-named Bensley 2-way server platform set to be introduced shortly along with the code-named Dempsey processors will acquire a little more than 10% of Intel Xeon DP platform sales in Q2 2006, slides over HKEPC web-site claim. Already in Q3 2006 the platform will acquire over 60% of shipments, mainly because the code-named Woodcrest chips will be featured in little less than 50% of DP server platforms supplied by Intel (which means that Dempsey chips will be used in 10-15% of Xeon DP-based servers).

HEY dougie, remember this:

BTW, I'm guessing (you can bookmark it) that Woodcrest will slip to late Q406 / early Q107.

LOL.
