Intel and HP recently announced the world’s best four-socket TPC-C benchmark result — a showing of 634,000 transactions per minute. HP’s Aaron Spurlock joins Noe Garcia from Intel to discuss the specifics of how the HP Proliant DL580 G5 server with Intel Xeon 7400-series processors stacks up against world-class competition.

Also, at Fall IDF in San Francisco, Intel also announced that the Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, marking the first time that the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-socket IBM server.

This past Fall, Intel announced that the Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, marking the first time that the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-socket IBM server. It was announced by Intel Executive Vice President Pat Gelsinger at IDF 2008, and it was the topic of many spirited industry conversations, as well. In this video podcast, Intel’s Mike Moreno speaks with IBM’s Robert Zuber about what the news means for IT managers, and what IBM is doing to help reduce the size of the IT footprint in the enterprise. They also mention new benchmarks around database and virtualization.

Intel’s Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, in time for this announcement from Intel Executive Vice President Pat Gelsinger at IDF 2008, in San Francisco. This podcast includes the IDF announcement of those Xeon performance results, which marked the first time the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-slot IBM server.

The Intel Xeon 7400 series (Dunnington), is the “final member of the Penryn family” — a family that Gelsinger notes shares Intel’s 45nm technology.

A new processor for the ultra-mobile market is Intel’s latest move to revolutionize mobility computing, from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices and even notebooks and desktops (er, “netbooks” and “net-tops”). While Atom (née Silverthorne) received its brand-new brand name recently, the family of tiny processors, which relies on 45nm technology just like the Penryn line of Core 2 Duo processors, will debut in devices on display at IDF in Shanghai in early April.

It’s no secret that China has come a long way in a short time — from being a country known for manufacturing cheap products for export to being, potentially, the next great IT superpower. National Science Board figures show that in 1994 there were only seven U.S. companies doing research in China. Ten years later, that number had risen to more than 500. Gartner analysts James Popkin and Partha Iyengar wrote, in their 2007 book I.T. and the East, that the world “will witness the birth of a real IT superpower if government restrictions are loosened and the Chinese instinctive talent for entrepreneurialism continues to be encouraged.”

It’s against this backdrop that the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, April 2 and 3, 2008, takes on extra significance. China now supplies the talent, within the country, to conduct advanced research in chip design. At this year’s IDF in Shanghai, Intel will provide an update on new technologies and features that enable devices with better performance, less power, more mobility, and lower cost.

Gordon Moore’s Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation’s new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks.

“Penryn” is the name for the upcoming family of processors built on new technology that Intel co-Founder Gordon Moore called one of the biggest advances to transistors in 45 years, PodTech’s Jason Lopez talks with Richard Dracott, General Manager of the High Performance Computing Organization in the Digital Enterprise Group at Intel.

Dracott talks about the possibilities of high performance computing, and about the upcoming SC ‘07 conference, where today’s leading computer companies will feature their latest and greatest products and technology. Featured at the Intel booth will be a contest to build a 768 GFlop processing cluster using the latest Intel quad core processors, and the winner gets to take it home.

Gordon Moore calls technology the “fundamental enabler” for all other technologies in his live-streamed keynote, available in two videos, here and here. The breadth of technology on display at this year’s Fall IDF in San Francisco confirms the central role that chip technology continues to play in tech advances. Moore’s Law sets the rhythm for what Intel calls its “tick-tock” development of new chip technologies, like this coming year’s Penryn 45-nanometer chips. In this video podcast wrap-up to the Fall IDF, a quick spin through the highlights from a few of the sessions, including Intel Fellows on call to answer any and all questions at the popular Shoptalk, where the experts discussed the future of silicon technology and those red aprons. A virtual walk through the exhibit hall, a look at the technology on display, and highlights from Gordon Moore’s on-stage interview round out the wrap-up coverage in this video postcard from the Intel Developer Forum.
