In San Jose, California, at the Embedded Systems Conference,
Intel launched two quad-core processors for high performance embedded
applications, aimed at designers of telecommunications infrastructure,
network storage systems and medical imaging equipment. The E5335 and E5345 are
both members of Intel's Clovertown Quad-core Xeon family, offering 8MB of cache
and a 1,333MHz front side bus. Intel's new E5300-series chips will come in at
the top of the company's range of embedded processors, above embedded versions
of its mainstream chips like Core 2 Duo, Pentium, and Celeron. Intel is selling
the 2.0GHz E5335 and the 2.33GHz E5345 for $690 per chip in quantities of 1,000.
