Intel Demosntrates ''Montecito'' Dual-core Itanium
 

The new processor will be on the market later this year and will integrate 1.7 billion transistors, obviously addressed for the high-end server market. German website Heise Online reports that the benchmark demonstration held at ISC included a system which had four Montecito chips with eight physical cores clocked at 1.6 GHz. Sustained performance reached 45.8 GFlops and set a new record level for a 4-way system. A corrresponding Opteron system (four processor/eight cores) performs at 30 GFlop/s
