Powered with Next-Generation, Industry’s First Volume Quad-core Processors from IntelASIA PACIFIC,
HP introduced the industry’s first volume quad-core processors from Intel Corporation on its powerful, energy-efficient multi-core workstations for customers in Asia Pacific. HP has revamped its entire workstation suite with leading edge technology features and Intel Quad-Core processors, which help achieve significantly increased compute capacity in the same footprint. The new range of workstations comes with increased capabilities to perform mission-critical operations in a supportive, reliable, multi-threaded, multi-tasking environment - with shorter project cycle times. The powerful performance, scalability and energy efficiency of Intel quad-core processors combined with the reliability of the world-class HP workstations offers customers increased capabilities to perform mission-critical operations. HP has introduced quad-core workstations across its entire workstation suite, with the HP xw4400 adding the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor, the HP xw6400 and HP xw8400 adding the Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5300 Series processors. “HP, along with Intel, is setting the pace for the industry to transition to multi-core technology,” said Sompong Suttichurchart, General Manager, Personal Systems Group, HP Thailand. “With the entire suite of HP workstations now available in quad-core, our customers in Asia Pacific can now enjoy greater compute capacity and increased capabilities to perform mission-critical operations in a supportive, reliable, multi-threaded, multi-tasking environment — taking workstation performance to a level the industry has never known before.”The HP workstations are designed to help professional such as digital content creators, oil and gas engineers, and computer-aided manufacturing engineers achieve shorter project cycle times and greater parallelism in their workflow in a stable, multi-threaded, multi-tasking environment.“Intel and HP have consistently provided solutions that offer unprecedented levels of performance and reliability,” said Accharas Ouysinprasert, Country Manager, Intel Microelectronics (Thailand) Limited. “By bringing the performance and energy efficiency of the industry’s first volume quad-core microprocessors to workstation computing, Intel and HP are giving customers the tools they need for faster visualization, analysis and product creation.”Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group, added, “HP and Intel are currently leading their respective industries, and quad-core processing is the future of workstations. Powerful partnerships are needed to drive powerful technologies and it was natural for these two companies to come together to launch their respective offerings. For those who create using workstations, the products that will result from this effort will be incredibly attractive.” The world-renowned Gates Planetarium at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science uses Intel-based HP xw8400 Workstations featuring quad-core technology with a suite of 11 digital projectors to produce bright, vibrant images that give viewers a realistic perspective of the universe. “The quality of visual effects in our planetarium is absolutely crucial to the overall visitor experience,” said Dan Neafus, Operations Manager, Gates Planetarium. “With multi-core technology running on HP workstations, we can reach new heights in visualization, making the planetarium a true launch pad for visitors to gain new insights and perspectives about the universe.” HP workstations featuring selected models of new Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 processor series are available across all Asia Pacific markets now.About HPHP focuses on simplifying technology experiences for all of its customers — from individual consumers to the largest businesses. With a portfolio that spans printing, personal computing, software, services and IT infrastructure, HP is among the world’s largest IT companies, with revenue totaling $94.1 billion for the four fiscal quarters ended Jan. 31, 2007.
