Intel Woodcrest to Launch Monday

This Monday, Intel will launch its new Woodcrest processor, a server processor based on Intel's Core 2 architecture. The new processor family, dubbed Xeon DP, will use Socket LGA-771 and include support for SMP which enables a system to support more than one Woodcrest processor, as opposed to being limited to just a single Core 2 processor per system. Despite the significant difference, every other aspect of Woodcrest is virtually identical to Core 2 Duo for the desktop.
