Intel's Montecito chip to run multiple applications Friday November 14, 12:00 am ET SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) said on Thursday that its Itanium 2 microprocessor due in 2005 and code-named "Montecito" will have four times more storage capacity than its predecessor and will be able to run several applications at once. Existing Itanium chips have 6 megabytes cache and are not capable of multi-threading, in which multiple applications can be run simultaneously with no degradation to performance. The company has already said the chip will have two processors on a single piece of silicon, known as "dual core" and have 24 megabytes of cache. The Itanium chips crunch 64 bits of data at a time compared with the 32 bits at a time processed by Intel's Pentium and Xeon servers. Intel's Itanium 2 processors, used on high-end servers, are being widely adopted by corporations, in addition to the traditional high-performance computing market typically represented by universities and research labs, said Lisa Graff, director of Itanium 2 worldwide ramp. There are about 1,000 software applications optimized to run on Itanium 2, she said. Intel is competing with Sun Microsystems Inc. (NasdaqNM:SUNW - News) for the lucrative high-end corporate server market, which represents about 80 percent of the total, Graff said. biz.yahoo.com
