Wednesday’s keynote address at the Intel Developers Forum included the disclosure of a new IBM four-socket blade using the next generation Xeon processor. The blade is based on IBM’s next generation of X-Architecture, eX5. eX5 features the Nehalem-EX processor and has nine times the memory bandwidth of the Intel Xeon 7400 platform. It also doubles the memory slots per processor socket to 16 and offers four high-bandwidth QuickPath Interconnect links.
