Hot! IDF Spring 2003: third day goes on

We’ve received a fresh reportage about the third day of Intel Developer Forum Spring 2003 from our Alexander Medvedev aka UncleSam.

It’s high time to take a cab and visit NVIDIA. But first – more fresh information from the latest keynote about server and networking technologies.

Sean Maloney, General Manager, Intel Communications Group, and Michael Fister, General Manager, Enterprise Platforms Group.


Itanium roadmap first:

Multiprocessor servers:
2002 Itanium 2 – 1GHz, 3Mb cache, 180nm process technology,
2003 Itanium 2 (Madison) – 1.5GHz, 6Mb cache, 130nm process technology,
2004 Itanium 2 (Madison 9M) — >1.5GHz, 9Mb cache, 130nm process technology,
2005 Montecito – dual-core, larger cache, 90nm process technology.


Dual-processor servers:
2003 Low Voltage Itanium 2 (Deerfield) – 1GHz, 1.5Mb cache, 62W, 130nm process technology,
2004 Low Voltage Itanium 2 (improved Deerfield) – 1.5GHz, 130nm process technology,
2005 Montecito, light version.


Nocona and Potomac names officially mentioned.


You can see that Nocona will feature 533MHz FSB and Potomac — 400MHz QPB.

There was much said about bright prospects of PCI Express and its chipset incarnations as well as about the importance of serial buses in general.



Besides, a new transaction performance prize was given to Itanium platform.


So long, UncleSam goes NVIDIA.

This is all for now, but we´ll naturally continue to inform you on IDF events in the newsfeed. And Alexander will provide more reports when he returns home.
