Apple unveiled Aug. 7 its new Intel-based Xserve server, which CEO Steve Jobs said is five times faster than the previous generation of Xserves.

The new Xserve has two fast dual-core processors that run either at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz or 3.0GHz. The dual-core Intel Xeon processors require less cooling time due to better power efficiency and up to 2.25 terabytes of storage. Redundant power supplies are offered as an option.

Jobs made the announcement at Apples Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
