tukwila

[merieux]

Hi ,

Some news : tukwila is announced in april at HP. I have no more précision.

I have also heard that Intel already sell the processor. But no official news about that. No newpapers annouce, no news from intel web site

Is someone can confirm the tukwila rodmap ?

Thank you for your reply .

Well this article:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/172909/hp_prepares_new_integrity_servers_for_tukwila_launch.html

Quotes a HP source:

"After several delays, Intel expects to launch Tukwila in the first quarter next year. HP will need about three months after that to get the chip into its servers, Bartlett said."

Different companies have different marketing approaches - Sun/IBM like to shout about products long before they are released - HP like to keep relatively quiet until a product is pretty much ready to ship. Don't worry about the lack of buzz right now - that will change when things are ready to go...

It looks like Intel has already started shipping Tukwila without an official launch which is set for Q1'2010 i.e. not too long anymore :)

As already said, HP will release a new generation of servers based on Tukwila after 3 months of its availability.

Tukwila's successor will be Poulson followed by Kittson.

Finally ...

Now I am curious what performance figures will pop-up at tpc and spec benchmarks (and what timeframe intel has for future processors)

Intel launched Tukwila yesterday:

So server products should follow in around 3 months...
