Intel Corp. today unveiled five new processors and a chip set for the embedded market.
The quad-core and dual-core
Xeon processors are being built with the company's new
45-nanometer process and will take advantage of Intel's new
transistor design.
At the same time, Intel
announced that it will extend life cycle support for the new processors to seven years from the traditional five years.
"It's good news from the standpoint that Intel continues to be dedicated to the market," said
Jim McGregor, an analyst at
In-Stat in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Funny, when you think Intel, you don't think embedded stuff. But they've been in the market for 15 to 20 years.
