Intel is introducing a reference design for what it calls “a new category” of microservers, along with low-wattage Xeon processors to power them.
The term “microserver” has been bandied about for some time now, with various and sundry vendors dipping their toes into the market for small, low-power, densely packed systems. Now Intel is reviving it in conjuntion with two new quad-core Xeons, the 45W Xeon L3426 and an even lower-power part scheduled for the first quarter of 2010, which will weigh in at a cool 30W.
