Your New Processor Designed In Costa Rica
Intel Corporation introduced 17
enterprise-class processors led by the
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 series. It is
Intel's most revolutionary server processors
since targeting the market with the Intel®
Pentium® Pro processor nearly 15 years ago.
And made right here in Costa Rica.
More than 70 Costa Rican engineers at
Intel's Belén plant and three years of work
led to the development of the new processor
chip that will be used mainly in super
computers performing high task loads.
Intel produces a majority of its processor
chips at the Belén plant, that are use in
computers around the world. The Belén plant
exclusively works on 18 different Intel
family products.
Intel began operations in Costa Rica in 1996
with one assembly and micro-processing
plant. Today, the plant is responsible for
the design of microchips, electronic circuit
boards and houses Intel's investigations
unit and accounting and financial support
for the company.
The Xeon® chips can automatically adjust to
specified energy usage levels, speed data
center transactions and customer database
queries, and will play a key role in
scientific discoveries by researchers who
use supercomputers as their foundation for
research, all while delivering great
energy-efficiency for reduced electricity
costs.
The Intel Xeon Processor 5500 series
represents a new era in computing. Intel
helped spark the Internet revolution with
the Intel Pentium Pro processor. Featuring
new levels of intelligence and versatility,
the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 series will
usher in an exciting era of innovation and
discovery by enabling customers to tap new
growth markets such as cloud computing, high
performance computing and embedded systems.
As use of the Internet expands towards
Intel's vision of 15 billion connected
devices, the Intel Xeon Processor 5500
series will also power an upcoming
transformation for the Internet's
infrastructure. The high-tech industry has
rallied around a goal to run applications
from optimized processors and computing
hardware, which are available on demand and
scalable to the masses. Often called cloud
computing, this vision could flourish due to
the adaptability, capability and
intelligence of the Intel Xeon Processor
5500 series.
