At Intel Solution Summit in Las Vegas, Intel launched its new series of six-core Xeon 5600 which is an improved version of last year's quad-core Xeon 5500 series chips.

The new Xeon, formerly code- named as Gulftown, featuring Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel's 32-nanometer process technology, represents a die shrink product development cadence, and not a major micro architecture advance.

The company had already started receiving orders for the newly developed product and now it is expecting to receive even more orders after the new Xeon has been officially launched in the U. S and China.

For Michael Faye, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Colfax International, the whole process is going to be an easy sail and a complete evolution, as it will be able to provide the consumers some useful offers which include a range of options such as "maximum computing power" at the top of the processor stack, to "systems capable of low voltage and multi-core computing", including one 60-watt six-core part, the Xeon L5640.
