SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Intel Corporation today announced two new powerful processors targeting high-performing Intel-based workstations. The new Intel Pentium III Xeon and the Pentium III processors deliver increased performance through faster megahertz speeds, Advanced Transfer Cache, an enhanced front side bus, and multiprocessing capabilities. As Web content, e-Business, and online collaboration increasingly play a more important role in the Internet economy, the workstation industry- and Intel-based workstations' role in that industry - also continues to grow rapidly worldwide.

Intel announced that now more than twenty original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) market Intel-based workstations worldwide based on the Pentium III Xeon or Pentium III processors, in a variety of form factors, speeds, processors and frequencies.

The Internet economy is allowing corporations to adapt to business 'rules', demanding a seamless integration of the enterprise impacting all workstation users. The growth of Intel-based workstations help to integrate the customer's design, marketing, sales, and manufacturing processes, increasing the organization's agility, innovation and efficiency.

"Intel architecture continues to enable powerful workstation solutions to meet the increasing demands of the Internet-driven economy," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager of Intel's Workstation Product Group. "In 2000, we will continue to increase the performance of our high-performing Pentium III processor and our Pentium III Xeon processors, and introduce our 64-bit Intel Itanium processor, making it an exciting year for Intel-based workstation customers." Intel Pentium III Xeon Processor The Pentium III Xeon processor at 866 MHz provides end-users with the power and performance to manage increasingly complex projects, by reducing design time and working more efficiently. Systems based on these processors target mid-range and high-end workstations, especially in such areas as CAD/CAE, Digital Content Creation ...
