Intel Moves Up Date for Shipping Server Chip
From the Associated Press
Intel Corp. is moving up the planned shipment date of a computer chip that would compete against one from rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
Executives of the Santa Clara, Calif., company told analysts in a conference call that it expected to ship its Tulsa chip in the third quarter instead of the fourth quarter. The microprocessor is one of Intel’s latest for server systems, one of the markets in which AMD’s Opteron chips have made recent gains at Intel’s expense.
Intel said the launch of another server chip, code-named Woodcrest, would be June 26.
