Intel Introduces World's First Six-Watt Server-Class Atom SoC


Intel has introduced the Atom S1200 family, the world's first low-power, 64-bit server-class line of system-on-chips (SoCs) for high-density microservers. This new line of "energy-sipping" industrial-strength microprocessors now lays the groundwork for a new class of energy-efficient storage and networking systems, the company said.

"Intel's new server-class Atom S1200 line consists of three processors with frequencies ranging from 1.6 GHz to 2.0 GHz. Each include two physical cores and four threads enabled with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, or Intel HT. Additional features include 64-bit support, a memory controller supporting up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory, Intel Virtualization Technologies (Intel VT), eight lanes of PCI Express 2.0, Error-Correcting Code (ECC) support for higher reliability, and other I/O interfaces integrated from Intel chipsets.
