Icon17 Intel® Itanium® 9300 Processor Raises Bar

Intel® Itanium® 9300 Processor Raises Bar
for Scalable, Resilient Mission-Critical Computing
· Eighty percent of the Global 100 corporations have chosen Itanium®-based servers for their most mission-critical applications.
· More than double the performance of the previous Itanium processor.¹
· More room for growth with up to an 800 percent increase in system interconnect bandwidth, up to a 500 percent gain in memory bandwidth and up to 700 percent more memory capacity.
· Even better support for mission-critical environments with reliability, availability, and serviceability enhancements throughout the processor and platform.
· Common platform ingredients with Intel® Xeon® processors foster innovation, design synergy, manufacturing efficiency and flexibility for customers.
Intel Corporation today introduced the Itanium® processor 9300 series, previously codenamed “Tukwila,” which delivers more than double the performance of its predecessor, boosts scalability and adds reliability features to the Itanium platform that is already running mission-critical applications for 80 percent of the Global 100 corporations.

With the Gartner Group predicting a 650 percent growth in IT data over the next 5 years, businesses need increasingly powerful and scalable enterprise servers. The two-billion transistor Itanium processor 9300 series meets this need head on with twice as many cores as its predecessor (four versus two), eight threads per processor (through enhanced Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology), more cache, up to 800 percent the interconnect bandwidth, up to 500 percent the memory bandwidth, and up to 700 percent the memory capacity using-industry standard DDR3 components.

Critical corporate workloads also demand high-availability features across all platform components. The Itanium processor 9300 series adds to the architecture’s world-class resiliency with new reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that extend across the processor, its Intel® QuickPath Interconnect technology, and the memory subsystem.

The processor’s advanced machine-check architecture coordinates error handling across the hardware, firmware and operating system, and improves system availability by enabling recovery from otherwise fatal errors.

The Itanium 9300 processor employs the second generation of Intel® Virtualization Technology to improve performance and robustness. Its Intel® 7500 chipset can directly assign I/O devices to virtual machines, further boosting efficiency.

Built for the future of mission-critical computing
“Intel is committed to delivering a new era of mission-critical computing, and we are delighted 80 percent of Global 100 companies have chosen Itanium®-based servers for their most demanding workloads,” said Kirk Skaugen, vice president Intel Architecture Group and general manager Data Center Group. “Intel is continuing to drive the economics of Moore’s Law into mission-critical computing with today’s Itanium 9300 processor announcement, more than doubling performance for our customers once again.”
“Customers need a flexible technology infrastructure that can efficiently and quickly meet changing mission-critical demands,” said Martin Fink, senior vice president and general manager, Business Critical Systems, HP. “Intel’s Itanium processor 9300 series, combined with HP Integrity servers, helps customers achieve new levels of scalability and resiliency with advanced virtualization capabilities to meet those needs."
CNAF, the French Family Allowance Service with 30 million beneficiaries, has chosen to adopt Bull's latest NovaScale GCOS Itanium-based servers. Gérard Russeil, CNAF chief information officer, said, "The Bull Itanium-based systems have consistently provided the reliability and availability that our mission-critical workload demands. Our testing shows that the Itanium 9300 processor's additional throughput and performance will enable us to consolidate multiple data centers into one."
Mission-critical computing for the next decade

OEM systems based on the Intel Itanium processor 9300 series will be binary-compatible with existing software and can provide major performance improvements without the need for additional software optimization.

“Poulson,” codename for the next Itanium processor, will add an advanced multi-core architecture, instruction-level and hyper-threading enhancements, new reliability features and more.

Future Intel Itanium processors in development today are being designed for socket and binary compatibility with Intel Itanium 9300 processor-based systems and software. They are designed to scale in performance and capacity through component upgrades, without software recompilation, so customers can continue to expand and adapt their mission-critical computing systems.


Common platform ingredients with Intel Xeon® processors spur innovation, add value

The Itanium® 9300 processor series and the future Intel® Xeon® processor, codenamed “Nehalem EX,” share several platform ingredients, including the Intel® QuickPath Interconnect, the Intel Scalable Memory Interconnect, the Intel® 7500 Scalable Memory Buffer (to take advantage of industry standard DDR3 memory), and I/O hub (Intel® 7500 chipset). The common elements foster shared innovation, design synergy, and manufacturing efficiency across Intel® Xeon® and Itanium processor families, and flexibility for customers.

Intelligent Energy Efficiency

An enhanced form of Demand-Based Switching (DBS) lowers power consumption when utilization is low. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology automatically senses and adapts to provide the right performance boost when needed, and to conserve power when it is not.

The Intel Itanium processor 9300 series ranges in price from $946 to $3,838 in quantities of 1,000. OEM systems are expected to ship within 90 days.
