Intel Phasing Out Dempsey & Paxville
It seems that the end of the road is coming up for both Dempsey and Paxville Xeons. Given the excellent performance and efficiency of the Core based Xeons, it’s not very surprising to see these NetBurst technology put out to pasture.
“Intel plans to announce the phase out date for its Xeon 5000 series (Dempsey) 2-way server processors in July, while its Xeon 7000 (Paxville MP) series 4-way server processors is scheduled to be phased out by August of this year, according to sources at server makers.”
