Intel Corp has introduced a new low-power, six-watt processor as a possible replacement for the common 40- and 95-watt servers that fill data centres worldwide, Information Week has reported. Intel's Atom S1200 processor is a two-core system on a chip, with cores running at speeds between 1.56 GHz and 2.0 GHz. "We recognised several years ago the need for a new breed of high-density, energy-efficient servers ... We are delivering the industry's only 6-watt system on a chip that has key data centre features," said Diane Bryant, VP and general manager of the data centre and connected systems group at Intel.
