At the Intel Developer Forum, the Santa Clara, California, company will also announce new Xeon processors that are the brains of powerful server computers that serve up Web pages and comprise computer networks.
Intel will also announce that it will resume manufacturing chipsets for Xeon processors, which it stopped doing in early 2000, Chartier said. The chipsets connects the processor to memory chips and the rest of a server computer.
Executives will also tout Intel's forthcoming McKinley processor, which is due to be available in large quantities by the middle of this year. McKinley is the successor to the Itanium processor, Intel's first chip that crunches data in chunks of 64 bits at a time, compared with the 32 bits that Intel's Pentium and Xeon chips do.
