Dell representatives characterized Wednesday's new lineup of corporate machines as the company's most comprehensive and broadest ever.
On Wednesday, Dell also took the wraps off a slew of new systems featuring a new Intel processor with four individual cores. Dell introduced the quad-core processors across its most popular models of servers and workstations, announcing eight different systems with the chips which, it said, provide big gains in performance and power-efficiency. According to Dell, a server featuring a pair of quad-core Xeon processors can deliver 63% greater performance than a server running four individual dual-core chips. In a statement, Dell Product Group Vice President Brad Anderson said customers who currently use more expensive servers with four or more individual chips will be able to migrate to more cost-effective two-socket servers thanks to the benefits of quad-core processors. Dell said it would begin selling quad-core Xeons Wednesday in several models of its two-socket servers, including blade servers, as well as workstations featuring quad-core chips.TheStreet Premium Services
