Intel announces new processor code-named Jasper Forest

08.04.2009

Intel typically code names it chips for geographical locations and the new device is no different. Jasper Forest is a petrified forest in Arizona.

Intel released its new Xeon 3500 and Xeon 5500 processors, also part of the Nehalem EP family, last month and a number of major vendors have already begun selling servers based on the chips.
