Intel’s Quad Core “Tigerton”
posted in Hardware, IT News |
Intel took a couple of days ago its quad-core Core 2 architecture to the high-end multi-CPU server sector with the launch of six new Tigerton Xeon 7300 series processors. The new quad-core Xeon 7300 series features scalability up to 32 processors for a total of 128 CPU cores.
Intel offers the quad-core Xeon 7300 series in three different thermal envelopes and cache sizes. The company offers the processor in 8MB, 6MB and 4MB cache sizes. Intel bins the processors in 50-Watt, 80-Watt and 130-Watt thermal envelopes.
| Intel Quad-Core Tigerton 8MB | ||||
| Model | Core Frequency |
L2 Cache | TDP | Price |
| X7350 | 2.93 GHz | 8MB | 130W | $2301 |
| E7340 | 2.40 GHz | 8MB | 80W | $1980 |
| L7345 | 1.86 GHz | 8MB | 50W | $2301 |
Intel reserves its 130-Watt thermal envelope for the speed topping X7350 with its 2.93 GHz clock speed while regular E7340, E7330, E7320 and E7310 models have 80-Watt TDPs. The company only has one low-power 50-Watt variant for launch – the L7345 with its 1.86 GHz clock speed.

| E7330 | 2.40 GHz | 6MB | 80W | $1391 |
| E7320 | 2.13 GHz | 4MB | 80W | $1177 |
| E7310 | 1.60 GHz | 4MB | 80W | $856 |
All new quad-core Xeon 7300 models operate on a 1066 MHz front-side bus featuring a new point-to-point bus architecture, allowing each processor to have its own connection directly to the chipset.
Expect server manufacturers to announce servers featuring the quad-core Xeon 7300 series in the coming weeks.
